POWERAVE® Focus and Zoom

The only product on the market that provides independent control of focusing and zoom in microscopy.

Our POWERAVE® Focus and Zoom products take advantage of deformable membrane mirror technology to allow fast focus and zoom control without translating or rotating lenses, vastly outperforming traditional microscopy. A compact version that attaches to upright existing microscopes (brand agnostic) and a benchtop for open microscopes on optical benches are available.

Unique features

  • True optical zoom with electronic control

  • True optical focusing over millimeters at low numerical apertures to hundreds of microns at high numerical apertures

  • Achromatic

  • Sample and lenses remain stationary, thereby keeping samples safe and free of agitation
