2) Microscope slides of selected or strewn Diatoms, Radiolarians, Foraminifera (and other microscopic specimens) for optical microscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy.
Diatom Lab produces microscope slides of the highest caliber. Our laboratory stands out through the use of unique, cutting-edge materials and proprietary procedures. While we supply major microscope manufacturers, universities, and government agencies, we also welcome private collectors and enthusiasts. All products are created in our in-house laboratory. Please note: our professional-grade materials require specialized instrumentation that goes beyond the capabilities of a standard laboratory. For example our high refractive index mounting media are not sold separately as they require specific professional tools. At Diatom Lab, we offer meaningful products that bridge science, art, and culture. With your purchase, you support the rare and noble art of professional diatom mounting - a craft now on the verge of extinction! You are also advancing modern research, ensuring these microscopic wonders are preserved and admired at their absolute best.
3) Microscale and nanoscale materials for research.
4) Optical aberrations detectors and Micrometers.
5) Microscopy imaging services and publications. We provide scientific imaging services using our state-of-the-art Zeiss Axio Imager.A2 and other microscopes in full-frame camera format. Various illumination techniques are available. Click on this link to download the PDF file with the Diatom Lab Zeiss Axio Imager.A2 microscope configuration (objectives, condensers, etc.). We also provide Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging. We can image your specimens, or specimens we prepare on your behalf. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
