Welcome to Articulating Microscopes website store where you will find suitable boom mounted microscopy equipment, all with articulating arms. The use of an articulated arm is perferred because it allows the microscopist to retract or extend the microscope head over the working area as needed. It is useful for applications where the working area needs to be conserved. The heavy boom stand holds the articulating arm.

The microscope head is mounted to the end of the articulating arm. An articulating microscope always uses a low power stereoscopic microscope head. The head can be either with or without zoom optics. The cheap microscope heads come only with fixed magnifications, and have only two levels of magnification.

A higher priced microscope head with zoom stereo optics is best because any value of magnification within the zoom range can be achieved. Common microscope magnifications for zoom optics are between 6 and 45x. A zoom microscope head mounted to an articulating microscope boom stand is an ideal tool.
