Grayfield Optical Inc - High Resolution Optical Microscopes

On this page, you will find the current price lists for the Portable Microscope and the 3D Optical Microscope.

As the Ergonom is available with a wide range of configurations and options, please contact us so we can discuss your needs and determine a system suitable for your requirements and budget. In general, the Ergonom is competitive in price to modern confocal systems, yet with many advantages.

Portable Microscope 4D

The portable microscope to give you extra depth of field!

This 25-100x microscope system provides an exceptionally high optical resolution, unparalleled 1.5 - 4mm depth of field free of any distortions or parallax errors. Photograph stunning, brilliant 3D images in their natural colours!

The Nikon CoolPix S4, and its successor the S10, are well-proven 6 megapixel digital cameras with autofocus and swivel lens to ensure you can always take your pictures at the ideal angle. This is especially useful when using the camera as an enhanced highly portable microscope. The special fixed ring tripod design ensures the portable microscope is used at the ideal working distance for maximum possible depth of field. Even expensive laboratory microscopes do not offer you as much depth of field as this lens system at the same magnifications.

Ideal for pictures of coins, stones, plants, etc. Often used commercially for picturing material faults, blemishes, rust, etc., on-site. This powerful, yet easy to use microscope system offers a wide range of capabilities with a good cost-performance ratio.

3D Optical Macro / Microscope
Up to 30mm depth of field, up to 10 megapixel resolution
shadowless or 3D illimination, parallax free imaging

Are you involved in macro photography and have problems with lack of real depth of field?

Do you need a high quality solution which works in real time avoiding the problems of small apertures (loss of resolution and massive amounts of light required)?

Then our new 3DOM (3D Optical Macro-Microscope), with the Panasonic DMC-FZ50 or Nikon Coolpix S10 camera is for you.

The following table lists the depth of field available for the respective field of view (the maximum size of the object you wish to image).

Features:
ü Illumination in the Z-axis absolutely shadow and parallax free
ü 3D effect with high resolution (no shadows like those seen with oblique)
ü Even flat structures (fiber, paper) can be seen with very high DOF and 3D effect
ü New perspectives possible when combining the 2 light sources
ü Extremely high resolution – up to 10 megapixel capability supported by our optics
ü No image distortion at all magnifications
ü True-colour rendition, High contour sharpness, full colour contrast
ü Quick and easy to use
ü Easily portable for lab or field use.

Ergonom Research Microscopes

The Ergonom series of microscopes are made in Germany to the highest technical standards and available in a wide range of configurations and prices to match your exact needs. Built in a modular way, it is possible to add a wide range of additional features as your requirements and budget allow. Lower price versions are available where optical resolution is reduced to 300nm (transmitted light) where higher resolutions are not required. As we are a small company, we are able to tailor make the Ergonom microscope to your needs and budget while allowing for future upgrades as required. Further details are available online, yet in order to make sure you get the right system, it is important to discuss your needs with you personally in our labs in Germany.

The Ergonom 3000 is our latest microscope designed for biological work with a maximum true resolution of 200nm (incident, 300nm transmitted light), which is suffient for most biological applications. Unlike conventional microscopes, the Ergonom 3000 provides full contrast natural color images of living specimens even at the highest magnifications showing details not otherwise possible. Even unstained transparent samples provide useful images with this microscope.

The Ergonom 4000-4 is designed for reflected light only. It is NOT possible to add transmitted light capability at a later date. It is very easy to use, yet provides 100nm optical true resolution capability with fully variable depth of field. Ideal for imaging electronic wafers, plastics, metallurgy, etc. not requiring transmitted light.

The Ergonom 4000-3 is similar to the 4000-4, yet adding transmitted light (200nm) capabilities in natural color. Ideal for life sciences, the Ergonom 4000-3 microscope allows prolonged observation of biological samples in their living state without staining or immersion oil. Ideal for medical and pharmaceutical research, this microscope allows you to view specimens within seconds. Clinics using such microscopes have reported a significant reduction in research time due to the ability to see the reactions of living tissue in-vitro to various medicines which can also significantly reduce the need for animal testing. We recommend the use of our range of heated Olbrich chambers with self sealing openings to allow nutrients and drugs to be injected into it.

The Ergonom 500 is the top model offering a wide range of capabilities and extremely high optical resolution (max resolution achievable is price dependant) and a large range of contrast methods as required. In most cases however, the Ergonom 4000-3 will fulfill nearly all but the most extreme requirements of an optical microscope.
