Value for Many Fields of Endeavor

SL3D, Inc. technology provides the optical advantages needed to excel in many professional fields of endeavor.

Mineralogy
SL3D, Inc. microscopes save mineralogists time and expense by facilitating the mineral identification process. High magnification combined with a 3D image allows mineralogists to view precise dimensions of mineral structures, detect texture qualities, and determine cleavages that elude other methods of microscopy. Increase productivity in your laboratory with the advantage of SL3D, Inc. microscopy.
Entomology
By retaining the 3D that already exists in the specimen, and presenting a crisp 3D image at high magnification, SL3D, Inc. microscopes allow entomologists to better identify insect structures. Entomologists at California Academy of Sciences have put our 3DAcademictm microscopes to the test over months of research and found that they increase accuracy and create a 50% time savings.
Gemology
Now you can fully realize the impressive internal structures nature created in your gems! With SL3D's patented technology, gemologists are able to view complex 3D formations at high magnifications. Recognizing formations and more readily detecting flaws increases precision when examining gems for appraisals or identification purposes. Use SL3D, Inc. instruments to ensure quality service and products for your clients.
Botany
Botanists quickly recognize the benefits of combining a high magnification, compound microscope with a 3D image. SL3D, Inc. microscopes help botanists more rapidly identify structural formations in plant samples. With our technology you can avoid messy staining procedures and save time!
Agriculture
SL3D, Inc. technology addresses diverse needs within the Agriculture Industry by providing enhanced imaging in a variety of product solutions. Whether the application is for animal, food, forestry, natural resources, plant or soil research, SL3D, Inc. technology provides distinct advantages.
Semiconductors
Increase production yields with SL3D, Inc.'s inspection tools. Unlike previous methods of acquiring 3D images, SL3D, Inc.'s patented technology allows the user to see down crevices and holes. The ability to analyze fissures and gain an understanding of the topography of imperfections helps production plants to rapidly diagnose the cause of failure.

An additional advantage that SL3D, Inc. microscopes provide the semiconductor industry is the ability to discern the complex topologies of circuit boards at high magnifications.

Fiber Optics
SL3D, Inc. technology is ideal for facilitating production procedures in the fiber optics industry. With the aid of SL3D, Inc. microscopes, technicians can more easily and accurately insert fibers into cables while preventing eye strain.
Failure Analysis
SL3D, Inc. microscopes increase the efficiency of inspection and testing techniques in numerous fields. Our technology can be used to inspect various materials, including wafers.
Microbiology
With the superior imaging technology offered by SL3D, Inc. microscopes, microbiologists gain more comprehensive views of their samples. The added dimension of depth reveals structure so that critical objects appear clearly. Furthermore, relationships between the different parts of the cell become more apparent. When using SL3D, Inc. microscopes, staining procedures may be avoided with certain samples.
Neurology
Understand the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system to a higher degree with SL3D, Inc. microscopy. SL3D, Inc. offers a range of instruments, including epi-fluorescence attachments, to suit the needs of neuroscientists. Using 3D optics to view your fluorescent slides reveals surface structures as they truly are, and lends a better understanding of the precise location of critical structures.
Histology and Histopathology
The increased depth of field (nearly double that of normal compound microscopes!) offered with SL3Dtm microscopes enables histologists to identify structures in thicker tissue samples. With our microscopes, you can identify different layers and recognize where they are in relation to one another. You can also more accurately determine where anomalies lie within a sample by using SL3D, Inc. microscopes; such advantages are critical in diagnosing pathologies.
Cytology
Cytologists specialize in the structure, function, multiplication, pathology, and life history of cells. With the high magnification offered in SL3D, Inc. microscopes, and the advantage Natural3Dtm, cytologists can now detect abnormalities to a greater degree of accuracy.
Cell Biology
Due to the increased depth of field offered by SL3D, Inc. microscopes, cell biologists can better recognize relationships between cell structures. Various layers become obvious, eliminating confusion over exact dimension and location of critical objects.
Education
SL3D, Inc. technology creates superior learning tools, appropriate for every learning environment. The human brain is designed to interpret a three dimensional world, therefore understanding new materials --for example those that are otherwise undetectable to the human eye-- is facilitated by the ability to perceive the material's dimensions as they truly exist in nature. With SL3D, Inc. microscopes, students need not struggle to make sense of abstractions. Expose your students to new concepts by using SL3D, Inc. microscopes and provide them with a natural learning experience.
Artifact Conservation
The laborious task of determining the composition and texture of various layers of materials becomes surprisingly more efficient with the use of SL3D, Inc. microscopes.
