Summary
The OM2300S-GX4 offers our best value boom stereo microscope package. It includes the upgraded and popular OM2300S 7x-45x zoom stereo microscope head, the GX4 stand plus an 8W fluorescent ring light and 0.5x auxiliary barlow lens for greater working distance (which also extends the zoom magnification range down to 3.5x). In other words, crisp, clear optics, a solid universal stand and useful accessories. Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Why You’ll Love It
The OM2300S-GX4 microscope package is among our top options for industrial inspectors. It’s built with the features they need to thrive in their day-to-day application, whether it’s looking for product defects or completing failure analysis for hours on end.
This stereo microscope is ideal for inspecting electronics or doing soldering work as it features lockable stereo zoom magnification, and has an excellent long working distance.
Let’s Get Optical
The OM2300S-GX4 Zoom Stereo Boom Microscope features practical optical features like:
A 7X-45X parfocal zoom range (6.4:1)
Dual diopters integrated into the oculars
An interpupillary adjustment range of 55mm-75mm
A standard working distance is 4.0" which increases to 6.5" with the addition of 0.5x auxiliary Barlow lens
Three alternative Barlow lens options: 0.75x, 1.5x, and 2.0x. WF10X eyepieces
Eye guards (included)
What’s So Special About the Stand?
The GX4 stand is sold exclusively as a package with this microscope system. It’s a single-arm stand that weighs 43lbs (which is about as much as four gallons of paint) with:
A 21" reach including the focus block
A base plate that measures 9" x 9"
A pole height of 15"
A safety locking collar to provide double support to the boom arm
Say Goodbye to Weak Focus
Get all hands on deck. The OM2300S-GX4 is built with rack and pinion focus controls that include dual right and left-hand controls for convenience.
You can even add illumination options, like an 80 LED ring light, before you add this stereo microscope to your cart.

Stereo Microscope Digital Camera
The OptixCam Summit K2 series digital microscope camera turns your optical microscope into a fully-functional digital microscope. Plug it into your computer’s USB port and it automatically powers up. Your workflow becomes more user-friendly, more ergonomic, and perfect for collaboration.
This digital microscope camera lets you sit back and study samples on screen, without hunching over the eyepiece. In routine life science applications, you capture remarkably clean images that are ideal for cataloging and recording for posterity. It allows you to save and document images in industrial or medical reports, with easy annotation right from the included software. It transforms biology classes into launchpads for exploration by enabling students to see and share easily.
A dynamic range of 1.3 to 14 megapixels for big deals and small details.
The details matter to us just as much as they matter to you. That’s why we carry a range of versatile stereo microscope cameras with multiple resolution options, making an SK2 digital camera easy on the eyes and easy on your budget (if that’s what you need) too.
Summit K2 cameras range from:
• Low (1.3) megapixels, suitable for hobbyists, classrooms, and other applications where affordability, durability, and good resolution are most important.
• Medium (3.1) megapixels, suitable for biological research and industrial applications that require an excellent mix of visibility and affordability.
• Mid (5.0) megapixels, suitable for industrial inspectors and life science researchers who have departmental budget constraints, but need sharp images and easy functionality.
• High (10) megapixels, suitable for healthcare professionals and researchers with a greater budget who require high resolution image projection in large-format applications.
• Advanced (14) megapixels, suitable for complex microbiological applications where performance and image quality are all that matters.
Built around the superior Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensor.
Rigged with high-resolution Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensors, Summit K2 digital microscope cameras deliver vivid and vibrant images, even in low-light environments, and allow you to manipulate images while maintaining true-to-life colors and textures.
Compatible with PC and MAC.
Connect and power up easily through USB 2.0, no external power required, and dig into your work with the included K2View software (PC only). It’s built to make your workflow easier, with features like:
• Geometric measuring using lines, circles, and angles that are scaled to your magnification level in real time.
• Notation, so all the important info you need to package with your images is right where it needs to be.
• Anti-flicker, so images look sharp under a variety of ambient lighting.
• Time-lapse photography so you can easily batch images together, tracking changes as you go.
• Auto/manual exposure, making it easy to get the image you need.
• White balance control, so the images you capture look the way they should.
• Storage in JPG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, and RAW format, so images can be used across a range of platforms.
The cameras also work just fine with your existing TWAIN, DirectX, and Image Capture (MAC only - OSX 10.7+) software. You can also download K2View from our site.
Excellent image reproduction with 0.5x Reducing Lens.
No fuss, just focus. Many competitively priced digital microscope cameras magnify the image through the eyepiece, so the image you see on your monitor doesn’t accurately represent what you see looking down the scope with your own eyes. That’s not good enough for you. We counter that by including a 0.5x reducing lens. This prevents over-magnification and produces real images that don't suffer from the same zoom distortion. You can trust what you see.
Summit K2 series digital microscope cameras already work in applications spanning industries. They can be retrofitted onto most existing optical microscope models, and come standard on Omano digital microscopes.
They add some swagger to your passion for microscopy and make sharing a lot easier. You don’t have to go on your microscopy adventures alone anymore.
Compatibility:
• Includes 23mm C-mount adapter (additional adapters can be purchased to fit future microscopes)
• Optional calibration slide for accurate measurements
Modern Technology:
• Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy body
• Fast refresh rates (30-50 frames per second) during video recording
• Full-screen live imaging to maximize your visual experience
What’s in the box?
• Summit SK2 Digital Microscope Camera
• OptixCam K2View software installation CD
• USB 2.0 cable
• 0.5x 23mm adapter for C-mount
And, of course, our conversation doesn’t end with your purchase. We aim to make good science accessible. That’s why we offer free telephone support long after your microscope camera is out of its box.
