Applications
Bausch & Lomb zoom stereo microscopes of this type were widely used in electronics assembly, PCB inspection, watch and jewelry repair, biological specimen examination, and precision manufacturing — and they remain in active use today for the same purposes. The boom stand configuration is especially valued in production and rework environments because it positions the optics over a work area without a base plate occupying the bench, leaving hands and tools fully free beneath the objective. The 7X–30X total magnification range covers most close-inspection tasks: at lower magnifications you get a wide field of view for component placement and soldering; at higher magnifications, fine detail on ICs, connectors, or specimens becomes clearly visible. Bausch & Lomb produced this series from the 1960s through the 1980s, and these instruments are known for robust all-metal construction and high-quality optics that age well. The AO (American Optical) 10X Wide Field eyepieces included here are a compatible, well-regarded accessory from the same era.
This Bausch & Lomb 0.7X-3X Stereo Microscope with Boom Stand has been tested and is in very good working condition. The zoom mechanism operates smoothly across the full 0.7X–3X range, and both AO 10X Wide Field eyepieces (Cat. 145) are included and in good shape. The boom stand is solid and all clamps and locks function as expected. The black housing shows light scuffing and some surface scratches, most notably on the zoom dial face and the underside of the body — typical of a used lab instrument. Overall a clean, functional unit ready for inspection or assembly work. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
