Information about Specialty Microscopes

Microscopes are instruments that magnify images of small objects using lenses as the locus of magnification. Specialty microscopes are different from garden-variety microscopes in that they are designed for specific applications, or they use specialized techniques or technologies to produce magnification.

Products & Services Related to Specialty Microscopes

Biological Microscopes

Biological microscopes are used to study organisms and their vital processes.

Digital and Video Microscopes

Digital and video microscopes are instruments that use digital technology to magnify images of objects. They include built-in cameras and a series of high-powered lenses that provide superior image quality and resolution.

Electron Microscopes

Electron microscopes use a focused beam of electrons instead of light to "image" the specimen and gain information as to its structure and composition.

Measuring Microscopes

Measuring microscopes are used by toolmakers for measuring the properties of tools. These microscopes are often used for dimensional measurement with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view.

Metallurgical Microscopes

Metallurgical microscopes are used for metallurgical inspection including metals, ceramics, and other materials.

Microscopes, All Types
