True stereo depth for inspection and repair — continuous 7x–45x zoom on a boom arm

Focara ZoomStereo 7x–45x Stereo Microscope on Boom Stand

Overview

Stereo microscopes show the world in three dimensions, which is why repair and inspection work is done under them: you can judge the height of a solder joint or the seating of a jewel at a glance. The ZoomStereo gives continuous 7x–45x optical zoom — turn the knob and the image stays in focus — on a double-arm boom stand that swings over large boards and assemblies, with about four inches of working distance for tools. There is no camera and no screen; this is the direct optical view professionals still reach for when hand-eye coordination matters.

Key benefits

  • Direct optical viewing. An eyepiece image with no screen lag — what you see is the specimen itself, not a rendering of it.
  • Working distance — Approx. 4 in (100 mm). The clearance under the lens decides whether hands and tools fit — this model publishes the figure.
  • Focus — Rack-and-pinion focus block with tension control.
  • Lighting — Optional ring light (Focara RingLight 144 sold separately).
  • Stand — Double-arm boom stand, heavy base, 360° head rotation. A stable working position that holds focus while you work.

Magnification, explained honestly

For this model the published figure is: 7x–45x continuous optical zoom (10x eyepieces).

Two different things get called “magnification”. Optical magnification is produced by the lens system and carries real detail. Digital zoom enlarges the captured image on screen — the picture gets bigger, but no new detail appears, because the sensor captured a fixed amount of information. Focara publishes the derivation with every figure; where a headline number mixes the two, the optical range is the one to compare between models.

Working distance, screen & output

Working distanceApprox. 4 in (100 mm)
LightingOptional ring light (Focara RingLight 144 sold separately)

The working distance is the clearance between lens and subject — the space your hands and tools actually get. Screen and output decide who can watch: a built-in LCD for one pair of eyes at the bench, HDMI for a room, USB for capture and measurement.
