At Munday Scientific and Microscope Marketplace, we understand the importance of keeping your trusted equipment in top working condition. The Olympus SZX9 and SZX12 are two of the most popular and reliable stereo microscopes in the field, known for their excellent optical performance and versatility. However, like all great tools, they’re not immune to wear and tear.
A Common Issue: The Zoom Mechanism Belt
