Keyence VHX-5000 Digital Optical Microscope
This device is equipped with an adjustable observation and illumination system, a controller and console, and three lenses:
- ultra-compact high-performance zoom lens with variable optical magnification <20x-200x>
- double-illuminated zoom lens with variable optical magnification <250 x-2500x>
- double-light zoom lens with variable optical magnification <2500 x-5000x>
Mosaic shots of large samples can be programmed, or by varying the distance to the sample. Images and movies can be recorded, with the possibility of 3D reconstruction of non-planar samples.

Optical Microscope BX61 Olympus
The BX61 is a visible and UV imaging microscope. It is specially designed to work with an autofocus unit. Additional parameters such as illumination level, objective selection (X5 to X100) and aperture setting can be adjusted using push-buttons on the microscope frame, a keyboard or via the PC. Illumination can be in white light transmission or reflection, or in UV reflection for fluorescence detection. In addition to the classic bright field mode, this microscope also features a dark field mode. A spectrophotometer can be added for spectral characterization. Images and films can be recorded, with the option of 3D reconstruction of non-planar samples.

Optical microscope BX51 Olympus + spectrophotometer
Microscope with episcopic or diascopic illumination using a halogen source. A slit spectrometer with a 300t/mm grating can be inserted in the optical path between the objective and the analysis camera. By moving the slit, spectral images (X,Y,l) can be reconstructed.

Inverted fluorescence optical microscope. Mercury lamp excitation sources, laser sources. Detection; background, single-photon detection; front, imaging.
We have several fluorescence microscopes coupled to CW/pulse lasers, avalanche photodiodes and spectrometers. They enable us to study the emission of single photons from fluorescent nano-emitters, and to produce spectra at the scale of individual emitters. They can also perform polarimetric studies of emission and excitation, record radiation patterns for individual emitters, and produce dispersion curves for the nanostructures studied.
One of this device enables optical lithography of nanostructures.
