Product Category Overview

Explore the essential microscope types and instruments for tissue and cell analysis:

  • Compound / Upright Microscopes (Binocular & Trinocular) — for routine histology and cytology slide review

  • Infinity / Plan Optics Systems — deliver flat, high-contrast imaging across tissue sections

  • Phase Contrast, DIC, & Darkfield Microscopes — for enhancing contrast in unstained or thin samples

  • Fluorescence Microscopes — used for immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescent markers, and multiplex assays

  • Digital / Camera-Integrated Systems — support live imaging, image capture, telepathology, and annotation

  • Slide Scanners & Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) — digitize entire slides for high-throughput review and archival

  • Ancillary Histology Equipment — microtomes, cryostats, slide stainers, coverslippers, embedding stations, and consumables

Featured Models

  • Infinity Plan Upright Histology / Cytology Microscope
     Designed with plan / semi-plan objectives (4×, 10×, 20×, 40×, 100× oil) and a trinocular port for camera attachment.

  • Phase Contrast / DIC-Equipped Microscope
     Switchable between brightfield and special contrast modes—ideal for analyzing thin cytology specimens, cell structure, or minor detail changes.

  • Fluorescence-Enabled System
     Supports IHC, multiplex immunofluorescence, and marker analysis with filter cubes or LED fluorescence modules.

  • Digital / Hybrid Microscope (Optics + Camera)
     Integrated with cameras or LCDs for live viewing, image capture, and annotation directly from the optical path.

  • Whole Slide Scanner / WSI System
     Automated slide scanning devices for histology, enabling high-resolution digital slide archives and remote review.

  • Cryo / Frozen Section Microscope
     Built to handle frozen section or rapid histology workflows, often used in intraoperative diagnostics.

Buying Guide: How to Choose for Histology & Cytology

  • Sample Type & Workflow
     Histology labs require high resolution across tissue sections; cytology labs need sharp nuclear detail and color fidelity for stains like PAP, Giemsa, and others. Zeiss

  • Contrast Methods
     Phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC), or darkfield modalities help when examining unstained or live specimens.

  • Imaging / Digitization Needs
     If your workflow includes telepathology, remote review, or archival, choose microscopes with camera ports or invest in slide scanners / WSI systems.

  • Illumination & Light Source
     LED systems are preferred for stability, lower heat, and longer life; fluorescence setups require stable excitation sources and filter sets.

  • Optical Quality & Objectives
     Plan or semi-plan objectives reduce aberration across the image. For cytology especially, crisp edges, uniform color, and flat-field performance are critical.

  • Stability, Stage, and Precision
     Fine mechanical stage control and minimal drift are crucial—especially when scanning or stitching multiple fields.

  • Support, Calibration & Maintenance
     Regular servicing, calibration of fluorescence systems, and warranty support are vital to ensure reproducibility and trust in results.
