The global microscope market is projected to exhibit a CAGR above 8% during the forecast period. The market stood at nearly USD 7 billion in 2016. Technological advancements in microscopes on account of higher & sharper resolutions can impel the growth. Applications in nanotechnology, atomic studies, agriculture, and polymer industries can positively impact the expansion in the near future.
Microscopes can enlarge images of miniscule organisms or particles for detailed scientific analysis. Electronic microscopes use wave technology. They rely on electrons instead of light to generate images. These devices are expected to capitalize on the growing trend of miniaturization of transistor chips. This factor is expected to boost the global market for microscopes during the forecast period.
Developments in microscopes can lead to integration of charge-coupled device (CCD) chips and complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. They can capture microscopic images in digital format. Carl Zeiss AG, one of the leaders within the market, recently launched the ZEISS MultiSEM 506 microscope. It is a variation of the scanning electron microscope. The product has 91 beams and can capture images at 2 tera pixel per hour. These microscopes find applications for the study of neuronal circuits within the brain.
The global microscope market is segmented on the basis of products, applications, and regions. Optical, electron, probing microscopes, and others are the major product types. Optical products are further divided into inverted, stereo, phase contrast, fluorescence, confocal scanning, and others. Electron microscopes are subsumed into scanning and transmission.
