Zumax offers premium integrated camera systems that enhance microscope versatility and productivity.

What are the benefits of using an LED illumination system in microscopes?

One main advantage of the LED system over the traditional light sources is the high constancy of its illuminations, with very few fluctuations. This produces high image quality that gives proper reliable measurements.
Compared to traditional light sources, LEDs have a longer life, which will reduce the need for replacements and maintenance.
Another advantage of applying LEDs is less power usage. This will reduce energy costs and heat output, which will also help protect the microscope and any samples.
The LED systems allow for regulation of light intensity and wavelength, thus providing flexibility for different applications.
LEDs will reach full brightness in almost no time, which provides instant usability of the microscope.

What ergonomic features should I look for in a microscope?

Some ergonomic features you should look for in microscopes…

Adjustable eyepieces will reduce eye strain as they can be easily adjusted according to eye distance.
Hight adjustable stand will help avoid neck and back strains as it allows you to set up the microscope to a height that is comfortable for you.
Comfortable focusing mechanism allows for smooth and easy-to-operate focusing mechanism reduces hand strain. Ensure when finding a microscope that you get a well-positioned coarse and fine focus controls.
A steady anti-slip base will keep the microscope in place during operation. This eliminates frequent adjustments and, hence, gives you consistent results.

What Our Clients Say

"We recently purchased a microscope Zumax 2380 which we are really pleased about. It has been delivered for the trial on time and Piers Quinn has been great in helping us understanding how to use it and to set it quickly and efficiently. We are pleased about the amazing quality of the product indispensable to provide endodontic treatments at a high level. It is also amazing in providing diagnostic and demonstrative assessment as it is connected with the screen or can be connected with a phone or different device, to show the patients particular features. We definitely recommend Zumax as the best quality/price value purchase."

Doctor Narcisi and Martina Rosa

"It was like a breath of fresh air dealing with Albert Waeschle. Richard Watts was incredibly helpful even during a pandemic. Nothing was too much trouble and his expertise really helped me find exactly what I was looking for; a high-quality microscope with a screen to enable students and patients to watch the procedure. I can now offer the gold standard service I like to give my patients. The servicing and maintenance have been fantastic and I couldn't recommend them highly enough."

Mrs Sereta Parker, CertHlthSci(Open) RHAD MSHAA HCPC Reg

"As a specialist service which offers aural microsuction to numerous patients on a daily basis, it is important our equipment is high quality to enable us to deliver high-quality care. Choosing a new product which is suitable for a whole department's individual needs can be difficult. Our field sales contact Richard offered advice and guidance to ensure we ordered the most appropriate equipment. The order process from start to finish was seamless and the microscope was delivered as scheduled. Richard is always on hand to offer advice if we do have any questions giving excellent ongoing customer support/ aftercare."

Jodie Whitehead, Lead Ear Care Specialist Nurse/Lecturer, NHS

"I have had the pleasure of using the Zumax microscope as early as 2016 when I began my specialist training as an Endodontic trainee at Liverpool Dental Hospital, it was the first time I had used the dental microscope and Zumax was the first scope I trained with and continue to use to this day. The scope is excellent and easy to manoeuvre with great light and magnification steps. The scopes I’ve used are installed on the chairs which makes them flexible to work with within an endodontic set-up and storage. The company are also very supportive and always on hand if you need any help. Special mention to Richard Watts who has been very supportive whenever I have needed his advice. His knowledge is second to none and his good nature makes him very approachable and great to get on with. Overall a fantastic piece of kit and a great company to work with."

Ammar, Lecturer, Birmingham Dental School

"This was our first interaction with 'Opticlar/ AW' and it won't be our last. Richard Watts was quick to respond to my initial enquiry. The information provided was timely, accurate and answered all my questions. Richard very kindly came onsite and demonstrated the equipment to make sure it was suitable for our needs. Furthermore, the microscope arrived very quickly and was set up perfectly for our needs. We have been delighted with the microscope and the ongoing service we receive, which has surpassed our previous experience from other providers. I believe this will be the start of a long relationship. Thank you."

Duncan Collet-Fenson, Managing Director, Aston Hearing
