Welcome to Boston Industries, Inc. Microscope capabilities page:

At Boston Industries, Inc., we resonate with the intricate and detailed demands of modern scientific research. As a specialized provider of pre-owned research microscopes, we bridge the gap between sophisticated research requirements and cost-effectiveness.

We are a registered vendor to a bulk of larger US and Canadian education institutions, multiple EU schools, and many customers in the corporate and startup world.

We have extensive experience shipping microscopes to customers around the globe.

What We Bring to the Table

Our microscope inventory encompasses a wide spectrum of pre-owned research microscopy options from manufacturers such as Nikon, Zeiss, Olympus, and Leica. Please note we are not affiliated with either of these fantastic brands. We do, however, stock, service, and sell a large variety of pre-owned microscopes originally manufactured by these companies. We offer custom-configured microscopes that may be used in routine research biology or material work to high-end confocal and electrophysiology solutions. 

Our core competency are customized research microscopes for observation techniques such as Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase Contrast, Fluorescence, and DIC. 

Additionally, we specialize in automated microscopy (fully automated microscopes or imaging systems).

No one can do it all, and we can honestly say we are not ready to call ourselves experts in confocal microscopy and are currently honing our skills in electrophysiology. Whenever we offer these systems, we will be learning from you as much as you learn from us.

Proven Technical Competency in Microscope Reconditioning

Each microscope undergoes refurbishment and optimization under the experienced hands of our microscopy team, ensuring these microscopes perform their duty well.
