"We have been very pleased with the Slicescope. It has all the best optical qualities of a top-flight microscope, pared down to the absolute essentials needed for patch-clamp electrophysiology, and then rebuilt with many highly useful features including motorised focus and condenser. It is highly stable and has a minimal footprint, clearly the result of listening to the experimenter's needs combined with clever design."

The Slicescope is frequently retailed in packages along with other items of Scientifica equipment. These are known as Slicescope Pro systems and ensures simple integration of all elements, along with cost savings over buying each product seperately. More information can be found
