A method for switching between coaxial and ring illumination using a lens designed for coaxial lighting

The high-magnification zoom lens designed for coaxial illumination (SDS-Z) includes a standard 1.5x auxiliary lens.

Removing this lens allows for the installation of ring lighting.

 

*However, the magnification will change from 65~350x → 45~270x 

 the working distance will extend from 52mm → 95mm.

 

 

 

 

Coaxial illumination can still be used, allowing you to change the lighting based on the object being observed.

 

 

<Polarized observation is also possible>

 

 

■ On the LED side, remove the diffusion plate and attach a polarizing filter.

 

■ On the lens side, after attaching the ring lighting fixture, a filter can be mounted at its tip.
