Why Industrial Inspectors Love It
The OM99-JW11 is designed for industrial inspectors working within budget constraints. But at Microscope.com, we don’t believe those budget constraints should translate into feature constraints, and that’s how the stable and unique design of the OM99-JW11 came about.
It’s built with the premium OM99 microscope head, which is at the top of Omano’s range. It connects to one super sturdy arm that you can read more about a little further down.
The OM99-JW11:
Features 6.5x-45x parfocal magnification
Is built around six prisms
Includes super wide field SWF10X eyepieces
What’s So Special About the Stand?
Back to the stand! The Omano JW11 boom stand has been a workhorse and well-proven Omano stand for a decade. Weighing 32 lbs (which is about the same weight as 20 dozen eggs, for your reference), the single arm of the boom stand includes:
An 84mm focus block
A horizontal arm extension of 20" including the microscope head.
A pole height of 17"
An effective useable height of 12"
Let’s Get Optical
It all comes down to optics, especially for inspectors who diligently look for product defects and complete failure analysis for hours on end daily. We’ve been building microscopes for more than 25 years, and we built the OM99-JW11 as the most affordable go-to for industrial inspectors like you.
It’s packed with great optical features like:
Dual diopters that are integrated into the eye tubes for individual eye adjustment.
An interpupillary adjustment range of 55mm-75mm.
A working distance of 31/4", and more than doubles to over 6" with the addition of a 0.5x auxiliary Barlow lens.
Optional Barlow lens options like: 0.3x, 0.4x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x and 2.0x.
Say Goodbye to Weak Focus and Illumination
Flimsy focus controls don’t exist in the OM99-JW11 (or any Omano microscope, for that matter). The OM99-JW11 stereo microscope features rack and pinion focus controls that include dual right and left-hand controls for convenience.
It even comes with an 80 LED ring light for shadow-free illumination with variable intensity.
Looking for a stronger light?
You can upgrade to an even stronger LED light when adding the microscope to your shopping cart.
Swap Out that Hard Eyepiece for Soft Imaging
Although this stereo microscope comes with rubber eyecups, there’s nothing like being able to view and manipulate your images using software technology.
Do you spend hours hunched over the eyepiece of your microscope? Adding a digital microscope camera to your OM99-JW11 stereo microscope reduces that back pain and eye strain by showing you your images on a computer screen instead. That means you actually feel good about sitting back while working.
The trinocular format of the OM99-JW11 comes with a 23mm smooth eyepiece adapter. When the photo-prism lever is engaged in the OM99-trinocular, 100% of the light from the left optical path is directed to the camera port. The image can still be viewed through the right eyepiece.
Both versions are optionally available with click-stop detents for precise zoom observations.

If you just don’t like your Omano microscope and want to send it back after a few weeks of use, do it. We’ll take it back with no questions asked.
If you have a problem with it 30 years from now, we’ll fix it. We made a decision decades ago that we would offer a lifetime limited warranty because we know we don’t have to worry about quality issues.

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.
