Meiji MA501 Super-Widefield 5× Eyepieces — Sold in Pairs
The Meiji MA501 Super-Widefield 5× eyepieces are designed to increase field of view while reducing operator fatigue during extended inspection and assembly tasks. Lower magnification eyepieces are commonly selected in cleanroom and production environments where situational awareness, hand-eye coordination, and overall context matter as much as fine detail.

Sold as a matched pair, the MA501 eyepieces support balanced binocular viewing and are engineered to maintain optical clarity and alignment when used with Meiji stereo microscope systems.
Published configuration
  • Eyepiece type: Super-widefield
  • Magnification: 5×
  • Field of view: Expanded (widefield design)
  • Viewing style: Binocular (matched pair)
  • Compatibility: Meiji stereo microscope systems
  • Quantity: Sold as one pair (two eyepieces)
  • Intended environments: Cleanroom, laboratory, electronics, medical device manufacturing
Why 5× eyepieces are commonly used
Lower magnification eyepieces increase the visible area under the microscope. This is particularly valuable for inspection and assembly tasks where operators need to see the relationship between multiple features without constantly repositioning the sample.

Use and handling guidance
  • Install eyepieces as a matched pair to maintain binocular balance.
  • Avoid touching optical glass; handle by the barrel only.
  • Clean lenses using optical-grade swabs and approved solvent technique.
  • Store unused eyepieces in a covered container to reduce particle deposition.

The Technical Vault Eyepiece Selection for Cleanroom Stereo Microscopy
Eyepieces define how work is seen
In stereo microscopy, eyepieces are not simply magnifiers—they define the usable field of view, eye relief, and overall comfort of the system. Selecting the correct eyepiece magnification can significantly impact inspection speed, accuracy, and operator fatigue.
Why widefield eyepieces matter in cleanrooms
Super-widefield eyepieces allow operators to see more of the work area without repositioning the sample. This reduces unnecessary handling, supports better hand-eye coordination, and helps maintain consistent inspection posture—important factors in contamination-controlled environments.
Balancing magnification and context
While higher magnification can reveal fine details, it also narrows the field of view. Five-power eyepieces strike a balance by providing sufficient magnification for general inspection while preserving awareness of surrounding features and tooling.
Cleanroom perspective
Fewer sample movements and fewer adjustments translate directly into lower contamination risk. Eyepiece selection is a subtle but meaningful part of cleanroom risk reduction.
Cleaning and maintenance considerations
  • Include eyepiece barrels and eye lenses in routine microscope cleaning SOPs.
  • Use optical-grade swabs for lens surfaces; avoid general wipes on glass.
  • Clean after any contact with gloves or accidental touch.
  • Inspect eyepieces periodically for residue or haze that may affect clarity.
SOSCleanroom technical perspective
Small optical components have an outsized impact on inspection quality. SOSCleanroom supports Meiji microscope systems with compatible eyepieces, Texwipe optical cleaning products, and cleanroom PPE to help customers maintain clarity, comfort, and compliance.
