Its first product, the Measure Scope of a monoscopic microscope used in industrial manufacturing remains a strong seller today.

The specialists who put together the stages have an extraordinarily sensitive touch; they can tell a difference of even one micron by hand-that's one thousandth of a millimeter. This makes for an incredibly smooth, strong stage that, unlike overseas products, will never rattle or shake.
