1.2 REPORT DESCRIPTION 


Microscopes have been in use since the 17th century and since then, technical advances have greatly widened the scope of microscopy. Digitization has led to greater precision of the images. The development of confocal microscopes and new technologies in electron microscopes is boosting the growth of the microscopy market.

The possibility of reducing errors in clinical trials through advancements in microscopy has further boosted the interest of manufacturers to develop new technologies. Also, with technological shift away from compound optical microscopes and increase in life sciences spending, the market for microscopy is expected to grow at a steady pace in the next few years. Discoveries in nanotechnology and increased funding for research to observe cells and tissues have increased the demand for microscopes. This has led to companies increasing their focus on R&D efforts to come up with sophisticated and advanced microscopic equipment. Customized or modular equipment such as integrated microscopy and spectroscopy have helped to perform advanced experiments.

Investments in biomedical research have further boosted demand for sophisticated equipment with enhanced features and software. However, the cost of these equipments remains a challenge in this market. Tight budgets of research institutions and the recent economic meltdown have restrained market growth. Apart from this, very few companies are entering the microscopy market due to the high initial investment.
