Optical Microscopes Market Drivers and Opportunities

Introduction of Optical Microscopes With High Magnification & Resolution to Favor Market

For two decades, scientists have discovered that optical microscopes can be used to detect, track, and locate objects. However, today, the research department at the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) enables microscopes to measure nanometer-scale (NM) details with a high level of accuracy. For example, NIST developed a new calibration process that closely examines and corrects imaging errors. Also, the pioneering research won a 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry that has enabled research to track proteins in fertilized eggs, visualize molecules forming electrical connections between nerve cells in the brain, and study the nanoscale motion of miniature motors. Therefore, high optical microscopes magnification and resolution will contribute significantly driving the market growth.

Product Innovation– An Opportunity

Optical microscopy is an advanced microscope driving the progress in cell biology to obtain spatial and temporal resolution to detect living cells and tissues. Since the past, staining samples with fluorescent labels provided a highly sensitive method to visualize biomolecules. However, fluorescence microscopy has several limitations associated with staining samples, such as sample manipulation & staining artifacts, fluorophore photobleaching, and associated phototoxicity. Therefore, many efforts by the researchers have been devoted to develop label-free optical microscopy techniques that are capable to provide quantitative capabilities in optical microscopes that were previously unavailable with fluorescent microscopes. For example, the laboratories are developing quantitative label-free optical microscopes featuring innovative excitation/detection schemes across applications to detect synthetic lipid membranes and nanoparticle materials of living cells. Also, research laboratories are developing a new wide-field interferometric reflectometry method to monitor single-protein lipid membrane interactions with unprecedented sensitivity. Therefore, innovative product innovation will provide lucrative market opportunities in the coming years for optical microscopes market.
