SteREO Lumar.V12 has been designed to provide exceptional performance for the diverse applications in stereomicroscopy. In contrast to comparable imaging systems, SteREO Lumar.V12 enables for the first time fluorescence imaging of light microscopy quality. New optics provide the basis for this accomplishment – optics distinguished by the fact that all important components such as zoom attachment, objectives and tubes have been rigorously designed to meet the demands of fluorescence microscopy.

The TriboScope nanomechanical test instrument utilizes an in-situ Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) imaging capability to realize the benefits of SPM imaging and quantitative nanoindentation in a single system. The synergy offered by interfacing the industry-leading sensitivity of the Hysitron transducer to an SPM provides superior testing capabilities previously unavailable to the materials characterization community.
