Stereo Microscopes
Superb Depth of Field and Contrast
Benefits of all three GL Series Stereo Zoom Optical Bodies:
- Save time - no need to refocus when zooming magnification, the GL Series is parfocal and its continuous zoom is available with detentes at 0.5X increments for precise measurements
- Accommodate all users - wide interpupillary adjustment (45 - 75mm) and diopters built in to the eyepieces allow virtually all individuals to work in comfort
- Minimize fatigue - side mounted zoom controls and low positioned focus control with tension adjustment reduce stress and let the user rest in a natural position
- Save Money for years to come - high contrast, flat images are now cost effective and EMS's 5 year limited warranty protects your investment
The remarkably clear, non-distorted 3D image resolved by the GL Series optics is a result of advanced technologies in optical design. The GL Series Greenough design produces lifelike images in a large field of view and presents upright or erect images with astounding depth perception. A long (100mm) working distance facilitates observation.

The Illuminated Stand
Pictured here, the Illuminated stand allows observation of both opaque and transparent specimens because of individual controls for reflected and transmitted light. While reflected or incident light is a 15W Halogen with electronic dimmer, the transmitted light can be either a 15W Halogen with dimmer or a "cool" 5W fluorescent bulb for heat sensitive samples. individual lighting controls provide ideal conditions for photographing images in a fully illuminated field.
All models include: a pair of 10X eye pieces, black/white reversible stage plate, dust cover, power cord and instruction manual.

Versatility is a real advantage of EMS's GL Series
With over thirty (30) combinations of stands and optical bodies from which to choose, the GL Series has a model to satisfy your application. Which one is right for you?
GL7 Optical Body - brilliance, clarity, parfocality, flatness and depth of field characterize this hard working model. Its wide magnification range, (7:1 or 0.65X to 4.5X) zooms in on your specimen without distortion, delivering a resolved image true to character. The detents at 0.5X allow exactly repeatable magnifications for documentation.
GL6 Optical Body - designed for those demanding applications where you are challenged with new and different specimens requiring absolute clarity at all powers, this model achieves high magnification (1.0X to 6.5X, 6:1 ratio) at a low price. Going beyond the standard for this class of microscope, total magnification ranges from 0.5X to 260X with optional auxiliary lenses and eyepieces.

EMS non-illuminated stands
The Post and Boom stands are heavy duty and designed to provide ample support for many years. Allowing freedom of movement in multiple directions over the work area to facilitate inspection of large samples, their rugged structure minimizes vibration and tipping, even on a Trinocular head with camera attached.
GL Series optical bodies and stands master Industrial environments
Superb resolution meets demands in semi-conductor/high tech industries, medical device assembly and life science research.
- Comfort First Design - long duration tasks are less fatiguing with accessible controls
- Large Field of view - the GL7 boasts a 35mm object field size
- Bonders & Probers - compact design/long working distance facilitate machine mounts
- Large Zoom Range - accurate reproduction of the sample up to 260X
- Wide range of imaging functions - fully integrated camera/software systems
Boom Stands, available in three styles (pictured on previous page), feature heavy bases for stability and tilting/swiveling mounts to facilitate observation of even hard to get to areas, but differ as follows:
Standard Boom is economical and well-matched to applications where continuous horizontal movement is not required. Used in medical device assembly where work stations and repetitive actions are common.
Smooth Boom got its name from the smooth gliding motion produced by the ball bearings in the horizontal movement. Ideal for scanning large parts, like a circuit board, simply with the touch of a hand.
Articulating Arm Boom features a counter balanced arm that moves vertically as well as horizontally, making it ideal for tight spaces.
