Meiji EMT-2 Objective Turret Stereo Microscope Body — 1× / 3×, 81 mm Working Distance
The Meiji EMT-2 is a fixed-magnification stereo microscope body featuring a precision objective turret with 1× and 3× positions, designed for cleanroom and laboratory inspection where higher magnification is required without sacrificing optical stability. The turret mechanism allows rapid, repeatable magnification changes while maintaining consistent alignment and image quality.
With an 81 mm working distance, the EMT-2 is optimized for detailed inspection and fine assembly tasks where closer working geometry improves visual resolution and operator control.
Published configuration
- Microscope type: Stereo microscope body with objective turret
- Magnification: 1× and 3× selectable objectives
- Magnification change: Mechanical objective turret
- Working distance: 81 mm

Higher-Magnification Fixed-Objective Stereo Microscopy
Balancing magnification and control
The EMT-2 is designed for applications that require greater detail than entry-level fixed-magnification systems. By offering a 3× objective, operators can evaluate finer features while retaining the simplicity and repeatability of a turret-based design.
Greenough optical system
Meiji’s Greenough stereo design delivers reliable depth perception, contrast, and flat field performance. This optical architecture is well suited for industrial and cleanroom environments where durability and consistent image quality are essential.
Working distance considerations
An 81 mm working distance places the optics closer to the work surface, improving resolution for fine inspection tasks. Facilities should ensure this working geometry aligns with their gowning, tooling, and contamination-control practices.
Standardization and training
Fixed-magnification microscopes simplify SOP development and operator training. By eliminating intermediate zoom positions, the EMT-2 supports consistent inspection criteria and clearer communication between production, engineering, and quality teams.
SOSCleanroom technical perspective
Higher magnification increases the importance of clean handling. SOSCleanroom supports fixed-objective microscopy with validated Texwipe optical cleaning products, cleanroom-compatible illumination, and application guidance to help preserve image quality and compliance.
