Physical Specifications

Construction:
Aluminum casting, stainless steel guides for the lens and head carriages, and rugged construction provide for precise,  reliable and repeatable performance. In addition to the bench model (illustrated), wall mounted and floor standing models are available. Size and focus adjustments of all models is manual.

Optics:
The standard 150mm lens provides 5x enlargement of 5"x5" (12.7 x 12.7cm) negatives. Both lens and negatives stages tilt about the optic axis, and have detented center positions. Greater enlargement can be achieved by tilting the 55AE 90 degrees from vertical.

Electrical Requirements:
115 VAC, 50/60Hz @ 6.3 Amps or
230 VAC, 50/60Hz @ 3.15 Amps
NOTE: Accessory light source power requirements may be different.
