Meiji EMZ-10 Stereo Zoom Microscope Head Kit-Includes 0X Protective Lens and two 10X Eyepieces
- 129.405-10 Meiji EMZ-10 Stereo Zoom Microscope 7x-45x
- 129.407 Meiji MA502 Pair of 10x eyepieces and rubber eye guards
- 129.409B Meiji MA531 0x Protective Lens-Protects optics: Used instead of Auxiliary lens. (optional .3x, .44x, .5x and .75x auxiliary lenses available separately)*
Microscope stand and light source sold separately.
The Meiji EMZ-10 with the 0x protective lens and a pair of 10X eyepieces is the scope of choice of Jura, the reknowned micro diamond setter and tool innovator who uses this scope with his Jura microscope stand on a Jura bench. Jura likes the higher powers of magnification that this set up allows, and the EMZ-10 has a slightly greater working distance (110mm vs 93mm than an EMZ-5 when used without an auxiliary lens).
Simpy put, with this EMZ-10 kit and the protective lens you will have 110mm (4-3/8") room between your work and the lens, while with the EMZ-5 kit with .5x Auxiliary lens, you will have 158mm (6-1/4") of room between your work and the lens.
You can certainly use the EMZ-10 in the GRS Acrobat stand, and depending on your bench and what kind of equipment you are working with (size of engraving block, use of GRS work lowering devices, bench height, chair height, your height) this may be the right scope for you. The only difference between an EMZ-10 and the EMZ-5 is an increase in working distance of 17mm with the EMZ-10
when used without an auxiliary lens, and the corresponding differences in working distance when used with an auxiliary lens.

*A word about auxiliary lenses:
Auxiliary lenses are used to increase working distances, giving you more space to work between your microscope and your work holding device. Auxiliary lenses increase working distance as they decrease maximum magnification. Since most jewelry work is done at lower magnifications, the loss of the higher powers while using an auxiliary lens is usually not missed. Choosing an auxiliary lens is all about finding a comfortable working position while allowing for adequate space for your tools and work. Many factors need to be considered including scope stand used, bench and chair height, your height and where you position your work holding device; either on top of your bench or closer to the catch tray for example. Use the information below to compare how magnification and working distances change with the various auxiliary lenses available for Meiji microscopes when using standard 10X eyepieces.
