    Nikon SMZ-1B Microscope questions

    Hi All,

    I am new to repairing, I bought a used Nikon SMZ-1b with a boom stand, it has 10x/21 eyepieces, now while it works well the issue I'm finding is the working area is about 100mm,


    Is this correct?

    do I need a lens that screws on the bottom?

    or do I need new eyepieces?

    any advice will be greatly appreciated.
    thank you

    When you say working area do you mean the distance between the bottom of the microscope and work piece ?
    Switching to 5x eyepieces should increase this distance a little and reduce the zoom, whilst adding a Barlow Lens will increase the working distance more.

      Hi , thank you for the reply, yes spot on. Distance between workspace and the bottom of the microscope.
