Having the right stand to suit your application is very important. That is why Meiji Techno offers a wider selection of stands than any other microscope manufacturer today. Click on any of the links or images below to see our complete range of stands. Although mostly used with stereo microscopes, all of the stands below can also be outfitted with compound or macroscope optics as well.
Pole Stands
Pole stands have a chromed alloy post on which the focusing holder is mounted. This allows the holder to be moved up or down to accommodate a wide range of working distances, and makes it easy to change holders. Many pole stands have built-in illumination.
Rigid-Arm Stands
Rigid-arm stands have a painted alloy support which is an integral part of the focusing holder and doubles as a useful carrying handle. Many rigid-arm stands have built-in illumination.
Wide-Surface Stands
Wide-surface stands have broad work surfaces that are particularly useful when working with large specimens. These stands require separate illuminators.
Boom Stands
Boom stands offer the greatest flexibility in specimen size, and also allow the microscope to be swung into and out of position easily. These stands require separate illuminators.
Heavy Duty Boom Stands
Heavy Duty Boom stands offer even more flexibility in specimen size, and also allow the microscope to be swung into and out of position easily. These stands would also require separate illuminators.
Focusing Holders
Focusing holders hold the microscope body and
contain the mechanism that raises or lowers the body to focus on the specimen.
Complete stands include their own focusing holders. But for other kinds of tasks, however, it may be necessary to mount the microscope body on a boom arm stand or directly onto a machine or some other surface. The focusing holders below offer a range of options for such applications.
