Realising Outstanding Stereoscopic Optical Performance

Nikon’s perfect zoom system, the world’s highest zoom ratio (25:1), matches the high numerical aperture values of the left and right optical axes simultaneously.

Digital Communication and Image Processing

The SMZ25 and SMZ18 both have a wide range of digital imaging capabilities utilising Nikon’s Digital Sight cameras together with the NIS-Elements imaging software suite.

Product Highlights

Outstanding Optical Zoom Performance

The remarkable zoom ratio is achieved by an opto-mechanical mechanism that continuously changes the distance between the two optical axes during the zooming process.

Superior Resolution, Parfocal Objectives

Nikon’s innovative and parfocal SHR Plan Apo objective lens series is capable of the highest resolution of 1100LP/mm (SHR Plan Apo 2x at maximum zoom).

Modular Accessory Components

From the stand to the eyepiece, every component option may be chosen to closely match the requirements of a user’s application.

Ergonomic Design

Ergonomic advantages follow from the design of function controls and optimisation of operator posture. Positioning of the controls and variable angle observation tubes allow comfortable, fatigue-free work.
