Dental Laboratory Microscopes

Dental laboratory microscopes are a necessary piece of equipment in a dental laboratory. Choosing a dental microscope for your laboratory is about which key features are most important to you as well as what the microscope will most be used for. Factors that can help shape these decisions include price, magnification and lighting needs as well as available lab space. The magnification needed for most lab procedures is between 10x and 20x, however some dental lab microscopes feature much higher magnifications. Some different lighting configurations include single or double spot and ring lights. Lighting types include incandescent, halogen fiber optic, fluorescent and LED. Another important feature to consider when purchasing a dental laboratory microscope is stand type. There are various types of microscope stands, including adjustable arm, dovetail, pole, boom arm, bench stand and universal stands. Dental microscope vendors often offer multiple lighting configurations and types as well as various stand options; this can help tailor a perfect fit.
