First ioLight portable microscopes dispatched

Today ioLight dispatched the first batch portable microscopes.

14th July 2016 is a momentous day for ioLight as the culmination of three years of painstaking product development and manufacturing planning. For the first time students and scientists can achieve 1 micron resolution from a pocket microscope. That’s one thousandth of a millimeter!

The ioLight Microscope App displays beautiful high resolution images on an iPad and saves images and videos onto the camera roll for sharing and pasting into documents. No wonder that the first batch of ioLight microscopes has already been sold to a wide range of users including teachers; universities; electronics companies; bio-engineering experts and vets. More are being built in our manufacturing facilities in Hampshire UK.

Founder Andrew Monk says “Richard and I are delighted to see microscopes coming off the production line into packing boxes at last. The trial units have performed well with customers for 6 months and we are looking forward to seeing their images and videos from the production units.”
