 | Upright Materials Microscopes These have a typical magnification range of 5x-500x. All have reflected illumination, some also have transmitted illumination. The reflected illuminator has a polariser to reduce reflections from shiny surfaces |  | Inverted Materials Microscopes Inverted microscopes are designed for larger and unusually shaped samples that cannot fit underneath an upright microscope. Most of these have a built in polariser. |
 | Digital Materials Microscope The perfect solution for making observations with colleagues and where images, videos or even time lapse sequences are required. A camera is built into (or attached) to the microscope and a live image is displayed on an integrated or separate display or computer. Many digital solutions include a measurement facility within the software. |  | Portable Materials Microscopes Ideal for examining samples during manufacture. These allow the inspection of materials and components that can’t be taken to a laboratory. |
 | Stereo Inspection Microscopes These are designed for inspecting components at low magnification- they have a typical magnification range of 7x-50x.Stereo microscopes are available on a range of stands- the boom arm stand shown is versatile for many different types of sample |  | Education Materials Microscopes These are designed for engineering education use. They have a robust construction and good quality optics, but still at a reasonable price |
 | Wafer Inspection Microscopes These are designed to inspect silicon wafers and assemblies. The microscopes have a large stage to accommodate the samples and allow for rapid movement of the stage so large areas can be scanned quickly |  | ESD Safe Microscopes The body and stand of the microscope are coated with a special static dissipative paint eliminating harmful electrostatic discharges making the microscopes suitable for all static-sensitive environments |
