(LUXO: Elmsford,, NY) -- Luxo extends its industry-leading microscope line with a new series of variable inclination position (VIP) microscopes. Luxo’s new VIP series features an extended magnification range, 23 mm (.90 in.) optics system with a 186 mm (7.32 in.) working distance (0.5X lens, included), and ergonomically-designed adjustable eyepieces.

The adjustable angle of inclination, 0˚–30˚ from horizontal, allows for individualized adjusting so each technician can maintain a correct posture during use—neck straight, eyes forward.

When viewed through the eyepieces using a 10X eyepiece and 0.5X lens (both included), the field-of-view range is 57.5–5.75. An enhanced working distance not only provides additional space for operator maneuverability, but also decreases the chance that products may become damaged during inspection.

VIP microscopes have heavy-duty aluminum housings and come standard with 10X, 23 mm widefield eyepieces and eyeshields. The microscopes rotate 360º in their focus mounts. Models have an optical magnification range of 8X–50X (4X–25X with the 0.5X lens). Zoom is adjusted via dual graduated-control knobs located on the side of the head.
