Transparency Market Research, a leading market intelligence firm empowering enterprises with business information, published a report on, "Optical Microscopes Market". According to the report, the Global Optical Microscopes Market was projected to attain US$ 2.5 billion in 2022. It is anticipated to garner a 5.7% CAGR from 2023 to 2031 and the market is likely to attain US$ 4.1 billion by 2031.
Optical microscopes, commonly referred to as precision optical microscopes or light microscopes, employ visible light and lenses to produce magnified pictures. These microscopes are mostly utilized in the biotechnology sector. However, demand for precision optical microscopes has recently increased significantly in the field of histopathology.
Digital pictures may now be obtained using complementary metal-oxide semiconductors and CCD cameras in optical microscopes, thanks to technological advances. Thus, an image may be simply projected onto a computer screen in real time for sample inspection using digital microscopes. One such breakthrough is focal modulation microscopy, which combines confocal spatial filtering and focal modulation to remove out-of-focus backgrounds.
Key Findings of the Market Report
- Optical microscopes are employed in diagnostic facilities to investigate biological samples and make medical diagnoses. These microscopes are also very useful in the field of innovative science.
- Several research institutes and hospitals are performing research and development in the field of optical microscopy to enable early identification of viruses/infections and illness treatment.
- In August 2020, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, approved 11 grants to establish the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID), which will conduct multidisciplinary research on disease-causing microbes.
- Such funding initiatives are boosting the optical microscope industry's expansion.
Market Trends for Optical Microscopes
