Navitar offers a variety of adapter plates so your system can be used with microscope stands from Nikon, Olympus, Meiji, Bausch & Lomb and Leica. These adapter plates allow you to utilize the shoulder of the zoom as a secure place of mounting instead of the adapter tubes. In applications where vibration is of concern, consider a flat mount option. Flat mounts will ensure product stability and image quality. Universal clamps attach to the adapter tube portion of the zoom system and allow for more creative and flexible mounting solutions when integrating the zoom system into a machine or in a laboratory environment where space is limited.
