Education
The microscope has long occupied an important position in the classroom due to its ability to provide a direct glimpse into the microscopic world around us. Whether you’re looking at pond scum and insects with young students or training the next generation of pathologists, there’s a Nikon microscope solution that fits your needs.

Life Sciences
Life science encompasses a range of fields, from basic research disciplines such as cell biology and biophysics, to biotechnology and pharmaceutical research and development. The microscope is a remarkably essential tool throughout life science research, being applied to the observation of model systems ranging from in vitro cell cultures to tissues, organoids, and whole organisms. Navigating the available options can be daunting for the researcher trying to identify the best tool for a given model system and experiment.

Clinical Research
The light microscope has a long history in both basic and clinical/biomedical research. Clinical research applications for the microscope have grown in step with other imaging developments, such as machine learning for computational pathology and whole slide imaging. The common thread shared by clinical research applications is the goal of contributing to the lives and health of people. It is thus of the utmost importance that these instruments provide exacting optical quality.
