Stereo & Zoom Microscopes

Stereo microscopes generate three-dimensional and laterally precise images, making them ideal for tasks that require depth perception and hands-on interaction with samples. Zoom microscopes build on this by offering continuously variable magnification, allowing users to smoothly adjust between overview and detail without losing focus. Together, they deliver flexible, high-quality imaging suited to both inspection and manipulation across a wide range of applications.

Common Applications

Electronics assembly
Dissection and biology
Quality inspection
Watchmaking / precision work
PCB inspection
Materials analysis
Failure analysis
Component measurement

Widefield Microscopes

Widefield microscopes are most commonly used to sample images fully exposed to light, both from above or below the specimen and capture the full field of view in a single image, typically using a camera. This makes them fast, efficient, and well-suited to routine imaging, fluorescence, and live-cell observation. They perform best with thin samples such as cell cultures or tissue sections, while offering a straightforward and cost-effective approach to high-quality imaging.

Common Applications

Cell culture imaging
Histology and pathology
Fluorescence imaging
Live cell observation
Routine lab documentation

Widefield Microscopes - Inverted Configuration

Inverted configuration widefield microscopes are designed with the objectives positioned below the sample, in life science samples illumination from above makes observation of samples in containers such as petri dishes or flasks easy. For materials samples, heavy or bulky samples can be easily observed without additional sample preparation. With their open stage design and compatibility with advanced contrast techniques and fluorescence, inverted configuration widefield microscopes are a versatile choice for both routine and research applications.

Common Applications

Cell culture monitoring
Live cell imaging
Tissue culture analysis
Materials surface inspection
Large sample observation
