Leica EZ4 W & EZ4 E Educational Stereo Microscopes for Academics

Item#: EZ4

These stereo microscopes provide a wireless education solution to the science classroom. The integrated 5-megapixel cameras can live-stream HD images to students’ smartphones or tablets. Students can connect to the EZ4 W either through its own internal Wi-Fi signal or through the facilities network. The EZ4 E exclusively uses the facilities network (WLAN or LAN) to allow students to connect to the microscope. This is an ideal solution if you don`t want to add additional Wi-Fi access points to your existing wireless network concept.

Prevent annoying shake while adjusting the instrument and stop it from sliding. The special transparent rubber material does not mark tabletops.
INSTRUMENTS THAT LAST AND LAST
The robust CapSense control panel ensures intuitive, reliable operation for years. It protects the system from dirt and is highly durable.
EASY VIEWING
The 60° viewing angle is equally ergonomic for students and teachers with different physical builds. The eyepiece tubes adjust simultaneously from 50 to 75 mm to provide the correct personal interpupillary distance for all users.
ZOOM IN WITH 4.4
Zoom magnification from 8x to 35x delivers high resolution images with fine details.
OPTICS CARRIER / THE 10° GREENOUGH OPTICAL SYSTEM
Greenough optical systems – provide very flat and large depth of field 3D views.
AirTeach Software empowers teachers to:
- See a thumbnail view of students' microscope images in the layout of the classroom.
- Share up to four images on a large display or projection to allow a comparison of students’ findings.
- Confirm cameras are logged in to ensure participation.
Advantages of the EZ4 W and EZ4 E:
- In Ethernet mode, the connection to the camera is provided through your own network, allowing a maximum number of users to connect to the camera. To use this to full extent, all devices have to be on to same network as the microscope.
- In USB mode you can connect your PC directly via USB cable to the camera, which is helpful when you aim for fastest live images e.g. of moving samples.
- Computer users can use the Leica Imaging software to connect to the camera and work with the images. For PC use Leica Application Suite software, and use Leica Acquire for Mac.
- Use lots of options with Leica AirLab App: It enables camera setup, annotations, measuring, image capture, and sharing to email, photo folders, or other social media connections. Leica AirLab App is available free of charge for Android and iOS devices.
- Stay flexible if there is no PC or mobile device around: Just capture images directly onto a memory card.
- Fine-tune camera settings conveniently, capture images onto the SD card, and view the SD card gallery – all possible with the remote.
- Project your images: Use the HDMI port for screen projections or output to HD screens.
- You don’t need any extra cables: The built-in camera is powered and controlled directly from the microscope.
