The Nikon MULTI PURPOSE ZOOM MICROSCOPE MULTIZOOM AZ100 is the macro/mono zoom
microscope that is suitable for observation or photomicrography in the range from macro to medium
magnification. The microscope can use five types of objectives: 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 5x objectives. The
product can zoom in or out in the magnification range of 1x to 8x for each objective. (The total magnification
range is 0.5x to 40x.)

Configuration example: The above figure shows the configuration example of the following parts:
AZ-TE80 Ergonomic Trinocular Tube 80, AZ-W10X Eyepiece 10X, AZ100 Zoom Body,
AZ-FM AZ (Focusing Mount) Adaptor, objectives, AZ-NP3 Triple Nosepiece, AZ-STE Episcopic Stand,
AZ-STGE EPI Stage, AZ-ICI Coaxial Episcopic Illuminator (with a light guide fiber), and the
C-FI115D/C-FI115/C-FI230 Fiber Illuminator.
Use of the illuminator
To perform the microscopy, a specimen must be illuminated with a light source or an illuminator.
• AZ-LED LED Ring Illuminator: This light source is attached to the tip of the objective.
• AZ-ICI Coaxial Episcopic Illuminator: This illuminator is used for the episcopic illumination. It is
attached to the portion between the zoom body and the eyepiece tube with the Fiber Illuminator as a light
source. (Refer to the figure shown above.)
• AZ-STD Diascopic Stand and AZ-STGD DIA Stage: The stand and the stage are used for the diascopic
illumination with the Fiber Illuminator as a light source.
• AZ-FL Epi-Fluorescence Attachment: This illuminator is used for the epi-fl microscopy. It is attached in
place of the focus mounting adapter and requires a mercury lamp light source.
