User Testimonials

“

"Our firm uses Meiji Techno microscopes in our R&D labs for various functions. We have never had any issues with their products and they have always been very dependable. Their customer service department was very knowledgeable when we were discussing our firms needs and they were very helpful in making sure our needs would be met. Their prices can be a little higher so but you definitely get what you pay for."

“

"Very user friendly and high quality microscopes. The microscopes that we have purchased for our engineers have come with rave reviews as they are easy to adjust/recalibrate and so far the quality has been outstanding. The microscopes we have purchased were just right off the shelf, but we have heard they are excellent at building custom microscopes to suit your needs. We highly recommend this group."
CEO/Owner

"Meiji scopes are my favorite (and the operator's favorite) for miniature assembly work. They are well built with excellent depth and field of view, allowing for many hours of comfortable use in the clean room. I have used a couple other varieties, but keep coming back to the Meiji's. The tri-ocular version also makes capturing photos of issues on the line for later discussion very easy. Highly Recommended!"
Manufacturing Dept

"We ordered Meiji microscopes for our back lab to inspect dental work (crowns, dentures, etc.). these microscopes are very easy to use and are built tough. Customer service has always been helpful whenever one of our scopes need warranty work."
