Optical microscope uses visible light and lenses to magnify small images and is also known as light microscope. It is widely used to view dead or living samples by the scientific community. Only one magnifying glass was used by simple optical microscope whereas more than two lenses are used by modern optical microscope nowadays. The expansion of beam of laser light to make the greatest use of optics is the principal technique used in optical microscope. Thus, it finds its applications in life sciences, nanotechnology, semiconductors, material sciences, and others in end uses such as hospitals & clinics, academics & research institutes, pharmaceuticals & biotechnology companies, diagnostic laboratories, and others.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis: 

• The global optical microscope market size has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. 
• The global factories have struggled to manufacture optical microscope in this COVID-19 pandemic and have also struggled in developing or improving the current optical microscope due to lack of workforce.
• The supply chain has been disrupted and the optical microscope market will be less impacted compared to many other markets because even in this COVID-19 situation optical microscope is used in various medical applications.
• So, during the meantime, this would be an opportunity for the companies to research and improve their product, develop ways to increase production of optical microscope.

Top impacting factors: Optical Microscope Market Trends, Scenario Analysis, Drivers and Impact Analysis

The major drivers for the growth of the optical microscope market are the increase in research and development activities and the importance of nanotechnology in the field of semiconductors, life science and material science. But, its low magnifying resolution may hinder the market growth. Moreover, advancements in technologies, evolution of digital microscope are expected to fuel the optical microscope market growth further.

New product launches to flourish the optical microscope market

In order to increase the applications in life science and material sciences, companies like BioTek Instruments, Carl Zeiss and Olympus Corp focused on automated platforms and product integration. Operational efficiency in manufacturing units and hospitals can be improved by the usage of such devices. An advanced device was developed by integrating AI and microscope to identify cancer cells by Nano systems. This device is highly efficient than other techniques which is categorized as class 1 medical devices and are easily approved for commercialization. Thus, this new device flourished the optical microscope market.

Surge in usage in Biotechnology

Small objects such as cells can be viewed with the help of Optical Microscope. With the help of standard light sensitive cameras, it can produce micrograph as well. It offers limited structures for viewing cells and not the highest degree of magnification. It is used for viewing organelles such as cytoskeleton, ribosomes, lysosomes and others in cells. Also, due to the clarity and enhancement in technology resolution to deliver a high quality image has led to the surge in the usage of this optical microscope in the biotechnology industry. These are expected to be used for cell biology in the future as well.
