Choosing a microscope

Choosing a microscope is simply a question of getting the right tool for the job. Since microscopes are put to such a wide range of uses, there are naturally many types of microscopes and specialized accessories. This is a brief guide to the types of microscopes that Meiji Techno offers and the applications for which they are commonly used.

Biological Microscopes
These microscopes are used by laboratories, universities and hospitals to look at biological specimens for research and diagnostics.
Industrial Microscopes
Industrial Microscopes are used primarily in assembly work or quality control. They are used to inspect materials and finished products.
Stereoscopic Microscopes
Stereo microscopes are typically used in work or study environments that require users to work with the specimen with their hands or with tools under the microscope. Usually low magnification however, some models can achieve 300X with decent resolution.
Electronic Inspection Equipment
Usually stereo microscopes are used to inspect printed circuit boards for flaws in manufacturing or production. An "oblique viewer" can be added on a stereo microscope giving it the capability to revolve around a component to inspect its connection to the PCB.
Measuring Microscopes
These are microscopes with digital readouts on the stage lead screws. They provide reliable, accurate and repeatable measurements on x, y and z axis.
Metallurgical Microscopes
Metallurgical microscopes are used throughout the sciences and industry. They are made to observe shiny and/or flat metal or other surfaces.
Polarizing Microscopes
Polarized Light Microscopes have many applications in the science, industrial and academic fields. Using polarized light, scientists can discover the origin, content and chemical makeup of many different organic and inorganic materials.
Asbestos Microscopes
Meiji Techno has specialized asbestos microscope models for mineral and other fiber discovery and identification for abatement companies and government agency's worldwide.
Video Macroscopes
Video Macroscopes are used in machine vision, measurement and production environments where small size and high resolution are required.
