Specific attention to production methods resulted also in an excellent price/performance ratio
The microscopes of the Oxion series are dedicated to professionals in Life Sciences applications, laboratories of universities or research centers, but also for routine medical applications and veterinary medicine. Besides the brightfield contrast method, configurations with phase contrast, darkfield contrast, simple polarization or fluorescence illumination can be used.
