Microscopes are often purchased for imaging applications where the need to directly view samples through the eyepieces does not exist
The instrument comes with a full set of objective lenses, several of which may be seldom used, along with all the other expensive peripherals that are surplus to requirements.
Prior Scientific has recognised this disparity, and now markets the PriorZoom range of optical systems alongside traditional microscopes.
The system is highly modular, conferring great flexibility both in terms of optical performance and physical format.
Primarily for reflected light applications, samples can be illuminated coaxially through the optical path or obliquely with fibre light guides or ring lights.
Performance stretches from sub-micron resolution through to long working distance macro observation of large objects.
Prior says it will configure an optical solution with a perfect fit for any customer.
