---

Research Microscopes  are designed for applications in science research. Being powerful, high quality devices, scientific microscopes are often used in colleges, universities and research labs and are more often meant for professionals use. As such, they are also equipped with various accessories and other additional features for increased functionalities.   These may include customized optics, high quality cameras and software and associated accessories among others for improved analysis and proper documentation. Therefore, scientific microscopes are top microscopes in terms of magnification, resolution and overall performance.  

Given that scientific microscopes are mostly used in such professional settings as medical research and forensics to name only two, they can be costly compared to a number of other microscopes, which is why it is important to find the ideal microscope for the need.

The intended use of the microscope will help determine the features to look for. This involves considering the type of specimen to be viewed given that there are different requirements. For instance, whereas fixed samples can be viewed using an upright microscope, living cells require a more specialized microscope.
