Meiji MA520 Super-Widefield 12.5× Eyepieces — Sold in Pairs
The Meiji MA520 Super-Widefield 12.5× eyepieces are intended for advanced stereo microscope applications requiring very high visual detail. These eyepieces significantly increase effective system magnification and are typically selected for precision inspection, defect characterization, and failure analysis in cleanroom and controlled manufacturing environments.

Sold as a matched binocular pair, the MA520 eyepieces preserve widefield viewing at elevated magnification, helping operators maintain spatial awareness while resolving extremely fine features.

Published configuration
  • Eyepiece type: Super-widefield
  • Magnification: 12.5×
  • Field of view: Widefield design optimized for high magnification
  • Viewing style: Binocular (matched pair)
  • Compatibility: Meiji stereo microscope systems
  • Quantity: Sold as one pair (two eyepieces)
  • Intended environments: Cleanroom, laboratory, electronics, medical device, precision inspection
When 12.5× eyepieces are appropriate
Twelve-and-a-half-power eyepieces are best suited for tasks where maximum visual resolution is required and inspection criteria justify tighter control over focus, vibration, and handling. These eyepieces are often used for final verification or investigative work rather than routine production inspection.

Use and handling guidance
  • Verify stand rigidity and fine-focus capability before routine use.
  • Set and document diopter adjustments for each operator.
  • Handle eyepieces by the barrel only; avoid any contact with optical glass.
  • Store eyepieces covered when not in use to limit particle deposition.

The Technical Vault Operating at 12.5× Eyepiece Magnification in Cleanroom Microscopy

Very high magnification is a system-level decision
Twelve-and-a-half-power eyepieces push stereo microscope systems toward the upper practical limit for routine binocular inspection. At this level, vibration, focus overshoot, and handling technique become critical variables that directly affect inspection accuracy and repeatability.
Why widefield design still matters at 12.5×
Super-widefield eyepieces help preserve orientation even as magnification increases. Without a widefield design, operators may lose context, leading to excessive sample repositioning—an undesirable behavior in contamination-controlled environments.
Stand stability and fine focus are no longer optional
At 12.5×, coarse-only focus systems often feel abrupt and imprecise. Fine-focus mechanisms and rigid stands help prevent vibration, reduce overshoot, and support controlled, incremental adjustments essential for high-detail inspection.
Cleanroom reality check
At very high magnification, technique matters more than optics alone. Cleaning discipline, controlled focus movement, and stable workstation setup are what keep inspection results meaningful.
Cleaning and maintenance considerations
  • Clean eye lenses frequently to prevent contrast loss and haze.
  • Use optical-grade swabs and minimal solvent to avoid streaking.
  • Inspect eyepieces routinely for residue that may not be obvious at lower magnification.
  • Re-verify diopter settings after any cleaning or eyepiece change.
SOSCleanroom technical perspective
Twelve-and-a-half-power eyepieces are a precision tool. SOSCleanroom supports these advanced inspection applications with Meiji optical components, Texwipe optical cleaning products, and cleanroom PPE—helping customers push resolution without compromising control or compliance.
