Meiji EMT-1 Objective Turret Stereo Microscope Body — 1× / 2×, 108 mm Working Distance
The Meiji EMT-1 is a fixed-magnification stereo microscope body featuring a precision two-position objective turret (1× and 2×) for fast, repeatable magnification changes in cleanroom and laboratory environments. Designed for durability and optical stability, the EMT-1 is well suited for routine inspection, assembly, and quality verification where consistent magnification levels are required.
With a generous 108 mm working distance, the EMT-1 provides ample clearance for gloved hands, tools, and fixtures, supporting cleanroom workflow without compromising optical performance.

Why a fixed-magnification turret?
Fixed objective systems eliminate variability between zoom settings. For standardized inspection and repetitive tasks, turret-based magnification provides consistency, repeatability, and simplified training across operators.
Recommended cleanroom accessories
Use and handling guidance
- Select magnification before beginning inspection to minimize handling.
- Clean optics only with approved optical wipes and swabs.
- Maintain adequate clearance between objective and work surface.
- Wipe down external surfaces per cleanroom SOP.

Fixed-Magnification Stereo Microscopy in Cleanroom Applications
Why fixed magnification matters
In many cleanroom operations, inspections are standardized around defined magnification levels. Fixed-objective stereo microscopes remove variability associated with zoom systems, helping ensure consistent inspection criteria across shifts and operators.
Greenough optical design
The EMT-1 employs a Greenough stereo optical system, providing high contrast, good depth of field, and reliable three-dimensional imaging. This design is widely used in industrial and cleanroom environments where robustness and optical clarity are essential.
Working distance and contamination control
A 108 mm working distance allows operators to work comfortably with gloved hands and tools while minimizing the risk of accidental contact with optical components. Adequate clearance supports cleaner workflows and easier compliance with gowning and handling procedures.
Operational consistency and training
Fixed magnification simplifies operator training and reduces inspection variability. When paired with documented SOPs, turret-based microscopes support repeatable results and clearer communication between production, QA, and engineering teams.
SOSCleanroom technical perspective
Consistency is critical in cleanroom inspection. SOSCleanroom supports fixed-magnification microscopy with cleanroom-validated Texwipe cleaning products, optical accessories, and application guidance to help preserve performance over time.
