Used for higher magnification applications on very small objects from 1 mm to 5 um. These microscopes can reach magnifications from 40X up to 1000X.

Used in applications such as low to medium magnifications (50X to 200X) such as in patch clamping and large cell injections where the object is in a small liquid bath with circulation and the illumination comes from above the sample. WPI offers two styles of inverted microscopes, one with a movable stage and the other a fixed stage. Both styles have phase contrast image enhancement options for viewing the details of transparent cells.

Used in lower magnification applications on larger objects up to 50X. Typical usage in small animal desktop surgery and viewing macro objects up to a few centimeters in size.

Used in animal surgery in a stand up configuration. Typically these use very high definition optics at a lower magnification

WPI offers a variety of microscope camera options for image recording, measurement and analysis. The selection of the camera may be mounted on a trinocular (a third optical port specifically designed for camera mounts) or may replace an microscope ocular. To compare the three digital cameras for microscopes, see the Camera Comparison Chart.

Used to illuminate the subject under stereo microscopes and other applications where an external light source is required.

Accessories for microscopy include spare objectives, eyepieces, C-mount attachments, lamps.
