SFM offers 3 main families of optical instruments for observing your samples, as well as a wide range of accessories.
stereo microscopes | microscopes | digital microscopes
stereo microscopes | microscopes | digital microscopes
They are designed with two optical paths (one for each eye) so that the observer can see the sample in 3D. They have just one objective, magnification which is made by a set of lenses located in the body of the stereomicroscope.
They are designed with a single optical path. Both eyes therefore observe the same image. Depending on the lenses chosen, total magnification can exceed 1,000x.
Lighting is essential for observing your samples. Whether you use a microscope, a stereo microscope, or a digital microscope, it will highlight any defects or objects you wish to observe.
The camera on an optical instrument is the starting point for your observation history. It can be used to illustrate a quality report, or as a reference for digital analysis of your sample (interactive measurements, phase percentage, particle counting, etc.). We can offer you integrated cameras whose design matches that of the device, and cameras adaptable to video output.
Enersight and the LAS X software suite are the 2 microscope software platforms.
There are many accessories available to enhance your machine. Many are designed to improve workstation ergonomics.
They work like stereo microscopes but have only one optical path. This improves image quality. The advantage over stereomicroscopes is that the optical path is perpendicular to your sample.
