The SPI Supplies® Collection of Portable Microscopes
Select from the largest variety of different models for different budgets
Introduction
Confused about the terminology? Whether you are talking about a "portable"
microscope, an "inspection" microscope, a "field" microscope, a "stand"
microscope or even a "hand held" microscope, chance are, you are talking
about the same thing but don't realize it. Different manufactures have
taken great liberties to assign different names for what are essentially the
same products being made by someone else but known by some other name.
We tend to view them as "personal" microscopes but don't want to be guilty
of inventing yet another name in an already confusing field. But they are
personal in nature and what is right for you is really based on your own
personal preferences. Some users swear by a particular microscope for one
reason, yet others prefer a different one and for different reasons. The
good news is that none of these microscopes are overly expensive and if it
should turn out that you don't find it exactly to your liking, at least you
have not wasted too much of your budget.
As a product group, listed below by manufacturer and brand name, all will
find applications in product quality control, field inspections outside and
external to one's main base of operations, for forensic investigations,
crime scene studies, or just to get a closer up look at a surface, be it
paper or metal or plastic. We know that these handheld microscopes are
handy around any "real" microscope laboratory as a "quick and dirty" way to
examine a sample before it is cut up into smaller pieces for closer
examination by light microscopy, or even electron microscopy.
