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. 

Specialty microscopes application types include life sciences, gemology and metallurgical microscopes, toolmaking, forensics, and semiconductor inspection. Specialty microscopes for biological and life sciences applications include those that transmit light or environmental scanning electron microscopes (SEM).  Gemological microscopes use polarized light with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view. Tool making specialty microscopes are often used for dimensional measurement with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view.  Forensic microscopes are often hands-free, binocular microscopes with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view.  Metallurgical microscopes are often inverted for viewing the bottom of a sample with lower magnifying powers to allow for brighter, sharper images combined with a wide field of view. Semiconductor inspection specialty microscopes used to study the layers in a semiconductor wafer or fabricated IC components.  This inspection type calls for greater precision and throughput.

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.
