Description ® Greenough The optical system of the Leica StereoZoom line con- optical system sists of two beam paths converging at 12°. Since the pairs of objectives are very close together, the stereo- microscopes can be constructed very “slim” towards the base. This has a number of advantages: less space required for use on bonders and machines, unimpeded working on the object, plenty of room for tools, free view of the object field. The Greenough system provides a low-cost solution for correc

® World first Leica StereoZoom S8 APO is the first stereomicroscope on the market with completely apochromatic corrected Greenough system. Apochromatic optics corrects per- fectly chromatic aberrations, eliminates interfering color fringes and renders even the finest details ultra sharp. Contrast, brilliance, sharpness, resolution, color fidelity and reproduction accuracy are unsurpassed. The advan- tage of apochromatic correction is best observed in objects that have fine, low-contrast structu
