The Scienscope SSZ-II stereo zoom microscope is available in binocular and trinocular formats, and is Scienscope’s most popular model. Newly redesigned, the SSZ-II contains high quality optics, provided in an ergonomic, user friendly package.
The SSZ-II microscope offers high performance and durability, time tested through years of service and thousands of users. It contains modularized gears, fixed prisms as well as an isolated nylon-on-nylon gear system. This increases the smoothness of the zoom, while simultaneously protecting gears from other moving parts.
Precision and Value
The SSZ series is the cornerstone of Scienscope's stereo zoom microscope line. The compact and durable design, incorporating the Greenough optical system, delivers exceptional flatness and depth of field, as well as clarity and accurate color. With over 15 years of continued customer satisfaction, the SSZ has remained Scienscope’s most popular microscope.

Proven Body Design
Scienscope prisms are housed with the body of the microscope, and do not move with the eyepieces. This design protects the prisms and eliminates the chance of misalignment caused by the prisms.
Scienscope microscopes use an external nylon-on-nylon gear system. This increases the smoothness of the zoom and protects the gears from other moving parts. This system is less likely to deteriorate over time due to the compatibility of the materials. Notice how the gears are housed away from all other internal mechanisms.
Scienscope microscopes also use a Single Spindle Zoom design, allowing for a smooth zoom and control that is superior to many competitors. This revolutionary design has two huge advantages. First, the objectives cannot move independently of each other; therefore, it is less likely to cause a misaligned or double image. Secondly, the zoom knob is extremely smooth, allowing the user to maintain the vision through the eyepieces while zooming.
Many Configurations Available
As with all other Scienscope products, the SSZ-II is presented in a modular format, enabling users to configure systems to their exact specifications. Magnification, field of view and working distance can be varied greatly through different combinations of eyepieces and objectives, creating a high level of versatility with a single system. Please see the specifications tab for detailed performance data. These microscopes can also be used with any of several dozen stands, articulating arms and illumination sources.
