Adapter Plates: Navitar offers adapter plates so your system can be used with microscope stands from the leading manufacturers. The adapter will clamp onto the Precise Eye adapter for a secure mounting solution. 76 mm and 84 mm diameter plates are available.

Mounting Clamp: Clamps to the adapter tube portion of the Precise Eye system. Allows for more creative and flexible mounting solutions when integrating the system into a machine or in a laboratory environment where space is limited.

An adapter tube is required component to complete the Precise Eye system. The adapter tube places the camera sensor at the optimal distance so that the back focus of the Precise Eye system is correct. No focus adjustments are built into these adapters.Adapter tubes are available in magnifications range from 0.5X to 2.0X. To provide flexibility to the overall system length, adapter tubes are available in standard and right angle formats and mount to vary the orientation and optical path of the system.

The Precise Eye system body tubes are the core component of this fixed optical relay lens system. Body tubes may be configured in a finite conjugate system with fixed working distances or in infinity corrected systems where objectives are utilized for greater magnification. All systems are modular and offer the ability to change magnification and working distance by changing the lens attachments or the adapter tubes. Options include:

Non Fine Focus: Perfect for applications where working distance and magnification are fixed. There are no adjustments to worry about after the system is installed.Apertures: The aperture function allows the user to adjust the amount of light that flows through the system without adjusting light source intensity. The aperture also can improve depth of field when it is adjusted properly.

Fine Focus: For applications without separate moving support systems, the Fine Focus body tubes offer focus over a 3 mm (coaxial models only).

Polarizer: An optical device which converts natural or un-polarized light into polarized light by selective absorption of rays in one direction, and passing of rays perpendicular to the polarizing medium. Usually fabricated from stretched plastic sheets with oriented, parallel bi-refringent crystals.

Coaxial Illumination: Coaxial / on axis illumination is most effective when imaging flat specular surfaces. By integrating the coaxial illumination port, a collimated, diffuse and uniform illumination source is integrated into a zoom lens. Coaxial illumination can also be attached parallel to the body of the Precise Eye.

Motorized Precise Eye body tubes are motorized so the solution can be automated and controlled with a motor driver. Options include:

Fine Focus: For applications without separate moving support systems, the UltraZoom Fine Focus body tubes offer focus over a 3 mm Fine Focus axial distance at the object.

Motor Type: Users can choose to either a 2 Phase Stepping Motor (Faulhaber) or a DC Servo with Encoder (Faulhaber) model.

Coaxial Illumination: Coaxial / on axis illumination is most effective when imaging flat specular surfaces. By integrating the coaxial illumination port, a collimated, diffuse and uniform illumination source is integrated into a zoom lens.

Motorized Ultra body tubes are designed to be coupled to infinity corrected objectives when a higher magnification and higher resolution imaging is required. These body tubes are motorized so the solution can be automated and controlled with a motor driver. Options include:

Fine Focus: For applications without separate moving support systems, the Ultra Fine Focus body tubes offer focus over a 3 mm Fine Focus axial distance at the object.

Utilize a right angle body tube when you have limited mechanical space. These body tubes are available in coaxial illumination / 3 mm fine focus and non-fine focus. Accessorize these body tubes with the various adapters and lens attachments to find the best working distance and magnification for your application.

Controllers are utilized when specifying a motorized zoom lens. The controller allows you to drive the motor and tell it when to change positions.

Microscope Objective Couplers:Designed to allow for the coupling of Infinity corrected objectives to the UltraZoom PreciseEye. 800 x 36T, M26 x 36T and M25 x 36T couplers are available.

The DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) may be used on any ultra coax version (zoom or non-zoom) of the Zoom 6000. The module works with object side NAs ranging from 0.05 to 0.50, with optimum performance in the range from 0.15 to 0.4. Lens attachments, operating in the above range will serve for macro applications. Any infinity corrected objectives designed for incident light will suffice for micro. DIC when used with reflected light can often be interpreted as a true three-dimensional representation of the surface geometry. It provides a clear distinction between raised and lowered regions in the specimen.

Infinity Corrected Objectives can be attached to the PreciseEye UltraZoom to increase the system magnification and decrease working distance. These objective lenses come in magnifications of 5X, 10X, 20X, 50X.

Lens attachments for the Precise Eye system attach to the base of the system body tube and are available in a variety of magnifications. The normal working distances of the zoom system is approximately 90 mm. Lens attachments thread onto the bottom of the zoom system and can extend the working distance out to 350 mm or pull it in as close as 35 mm. The extending lenses (.75X, .5X, and .25X) decrease the overall magnification, and increase the field of view. The shortening lenses (1.5X, and 2.0X) increase the magnification and decrease the field of view. As the working distance goes from long to short, the "taking NA" of the system increases, resulting in an increase in resolving power.

Right Angle (RA) and Non-Inverting Right Angle (NIRA)
Navitar offers a series of RA and NIRA attachments that are fitted to the object side of our Zoom 6000 body tubes.

Navitar offers our high magnification Precise Eye fixed lens system designed for use in the NIR. The Precise Eye NIR system has been specially coated to offer high resolution and unparalleled sensitivity for capturing microscopic images in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength band of 700-1550nm. This modular lens system can be configured to fit nearly any application. Motorized lenses are available upon request.
