“Microscope work is straining both to the visual system and the musculoskeletal system. Microscope operators are forced into unusual, exacting positions, with little possibility to move the head or the body."

Studies report that up to 80% of microscope users will, at some point, file a workers' compensation claim due to poor microscope ergonomics. Most injuries or discomfort is in the neck or back.

Microscope work requires the head and arms to be held in a forward position and inclined toward the microscope with rounded shoulders… a posture that can irritate soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and disks.

In partnership with microscopists from several industries, our electronic microsocopes are designed to be ergonomic, easy to use and compact - a completely new concept for low-power magnifiers, video or otherwise.

With the high-resolution screen up front the operator is able to sit upright,in a natural position.

Unlike other video magnification systems, the Imagnify range needs no bulky add-ons to boost ergonomic comfort. It has been designed from the ground up to be both functional and comfortable.

The Imagnify range has been proven in real-world industrial settings to increase operator productivity and increase comfort. In essence, we have eliminated the biggest problem in working with microscopes: the microscope.

The innovative design of the Imagnify range lets operators' hands and eyes work together making it ideal for precision manufacturing. The bottom-mount camera and high-resolution screen ensure line-of-sight is always directed towards the magnified object from a comfortable, natural posture.

The CCD camera and lens provide a good working distance across the magnification range, using either auto- or manual-focus.

Many digital microscopes are simply traditional microscopes that are connected to a camera and display monitor. The result is a bulky and inflexible unit that is not suited for most industrial or work environments.

In contrast, Imagnify microscopes incorporate the microscope, camera, and computer monitor into one compact piece of equipment. This makes them some of the most ergonomic and work space friendly digital microscopes available.

The centrepieces of the Imagnify microscopes are their large, colour LCD displays. The unusually wide viewing angles - at more than 130 degrees horizontal and 105° vertical - make it ideal for several people to view the image at the same time.

For brightly lit industrial environments, the Imagnify screens feature anti-glare coatings that significantly reduces eye-strain.
