The mobile stereomicroscope for medicine and technology
Sometimes a microscope needs to go where the work is, not the other way around. The SOM© 82 was developed precisely for this requirement: portable, flexibly mountable, yet with the optical quality of a stationary system.
The SOM© 82 is truly versatile. It can be directly clamped to a sturdy table or securely anchored with a bracket. The swivel and floating arms are continuously adjustable, covering a generous working area. With a single move, the microscope is in position and ready for use.
The colour-true, three-dimensional image impresses with high depth of field. The finest details become visible without the user needing to strain their eyes. The ergonomic design also enables fatigue-free work over longer periods.
The SOM© 82 is aimed at users who want to combine flexibility and optical quality in one device. Training and educational centres benefit from the easy assembly and modular construction. In dentistry, veterinary medicine or restoration, the system impresses with its adaptability to different work environments.
Even as a portable device in ophthalmology or for exercises in microsurgery, the SOM© 82 is a reliable choice wherever details are crucial and mobility is required.

Optical Precision
The SOM 82 capsule impresses with its high-quality stereo optics, delivering razor-sharp, detailed images with excellent depth of field. The various magnification changer options enable optimal adjustment for different observation tasks. Particularly valuable is the optional manual 1:6 zoom, which allows seamless magnification change without interrupting observation. The high-quality wide-field eyepieces (10x V, 12.5x V or 20x V) offer a large field of view and a comfortable eye distance, enabling users with glasses to work comfortably. The precise fine focusing ensures exact adjustments, allowing for detailed observations. The selectable lighting systems – from powerful cold light illumination to the modern LED variant – ensure optimal illumination of the examination field with high contrast and natural colour reproduction. This optical quality is crucial for precise diagnoses, detailed inspections and informative documentation across all applications.

Flexible Mounting Options
Desk clamp for quick set-up and dismantling or desktop mount for a permanent installation. The SOM© 82 adapts to the working environment, not the other way around.
Infinitely Adjustable Swing and Floating Arm
Large working range, precise positioning. A single gesture is enough to position the microscope exactly where it's needed.
Modular Magnification System
3x, 5x or manual 1:6 zoom – combined with various binocular tubes and eyepieces, the right configuration can be found for every application area.
Brilliant Optics with High Depth of Field
Colour-accurate, three-dimensional representation. Even the finest structures become visible, without distortions or colour fringes.
