Our compact professional entrance-grade microscope
FRAME stands for Fast and Rigid Automated Microscope engine and is our next step into establishing professional modular microscopes.
MiniFRAME remains the essential optical components of Frame and equiped with a compact, motorized XYZ stage. It is ideal for getting experiment or project started, especially when only limited movement is required to establish a proof of concept. Once experimental needs evolve, MiniFrame can later be upgraded into a full Frame system, allowing users to expand their setup without having to start from scratch.
Modular Soft- and Hardware
The FRAME's modular concept lets you easily assemble, test, and exchange optical setups. Pre-test optics externally, insert them directly into the stable FRAME system and instantly capute high quality images.
