Ultraviolet Microscope

UV Microscope

The UV Microscope is a microscope that can image in the ultraviolet region. 

UV microscopes "see" beyond what a standard optical microscope can image.  With special UV optics, light sources and cameras, UV microscopes image microscopic samples in the visible and the ultraviolet regions.  This means that UV microscopes have features that make them superior to normal visible range microscopes:

  • Some materials are invisible in normal microscopes but can be imaged with UV microscopes
  • By using the shorter wavelengths of UV light, higher image resolution can be obtained than with the longer wavelengths of visible range light.

One example is in imaging protein crystals: these microscopic crystals are transparent in the visible range but can be easily seen at 280 nm due to the strong absorbance of certain amino acids.  

CRAIC Technologies offers a number of solutions for the UV microscope.  These custom designed microscopes capable of imaging from the deep UV all the way into the near IR.  They are capable of UV microscopy in transmission, reflectance and even fluorescence.
