Digital Microscopes: Series 135 and 148: Monocular and Binocular

The ZUZI digital microscopes are a benchmark for learning biology and related sciences in schools, laboratories and technical training programmes. They combine high optical quality with integrated digital technology to capture, analyse and share images easily and effectively.

Digital Microscope Series 135

These models are robust, functional and easy to use, specially designed to withstand daily use in classrooms and to encourage scientific exploration from an early age. Their head with integrated digital camera makes it simple to transfer images to a computer for analysis and storage. All units come with ScopeImage 9.0 software, an intuitive tool offering image capture, video recording, measurement and processing features, compatible with multiple languages.

Monocular digital microscope, model 135/8, is an entry-level unit ideal for schools and colleges.

• Monocular head inclined at 45°, comfortable for beginner students.
• Quadruple nosepiece with achromatic objectives: 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x.
• Mechanical stage with translation controls and scales on both sides.
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with tension ring and locking system.
• Abbe condenser adjustable with iris diaphragm and filter holder.
• LED illumination with adjustable intensity for uniform light.

Binocular digital microscope, model 135/9 is an upgraded version suitable for longer observation sessions.

• Binocular head inclined at 30°, ergonomic for extended use.
• Reversed nosepiece for easier sample handling.
• Mechanical stage with larger surface and movement range.
• Coaxial focus knobs with focus travel limiter.
• Abbe condenser adjustable with iris and filter holder.
• Indicator lights to confirm camera connection and active status.
• Adjustable LED for constant and even illumination.

Digital Microscope Series 148

Binocular digital microscope model 148/7 is the most advanced option in the ZUZI range, ideal for university level and professional biology use. It integrates a 3 MP video camera with 1/2” sensor for high-quality images.
Its ergonomic design and wide-field optics make it suitable for users wearing glasses.

• Wide-field eyepieces ideal for spectacle wearers.
• Light path lever to divert light when the camera is not in use.
• Quadruple nosepiece inclined inward to facilitate sample handling.
• Achromatic objectives 4x, 10x, 40x (R) and 100x (R)(I).
• Large mechanical stage (180 × 150 mm) with low-positioned controls for greater user comfort. Graduated scales on both sides allow quick location of areas of interest.
• Double slide holder to secure two samples simultaneously, perfect for comparing mirrored or serial sections.
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with height limiter and graduated micrometric control.
• Köhler illumination system with field and aperture diaphragms and adjustable Abbe condenser for precise light control.
• Long-life LED light source providing clear, uniform illumination.

Advantages and differences between Series 135 and Series 148

The Series 135 is the most affordable and practical option for secondary education and basic technical training, combining durability, ease of use and user-friendly software covering all basic needs for digital microscopy.

The 148/7 model stands out for its superior features: higher resolution camera, wide-field optics, large stage and Köhler illumination system, making it perfect for detailed observation and analysis at university and professional levels.

Both series guarantee optical quality, ergonomic design and digital solutions that adapt to different levels of teaching and scientific practice, promoting active learning and exploration of the microscopic world.
