The idea for a better portable microscope has been born out of necessity as the airline industry has continued to decrease the size and weight requirements for luggage. In the past, the way weight has been addressed is to consider a table mounted microscope or a Tripod floor system. Both of these styles have their issues and at the beginning we decided that neither of these mounting systems was desired.
Our easily movable floor stand has high quality locking wheels that give our microscope the flexibility and efficiency needed for high volume surgery in unusual settings.
In order to travel safely, we turned to the best case maker in the industry - Pelican. The Pelican case is proven and reliable and it is what we wanted for protection of the EPIC line. However in order to to utilize a Pelican, we had to commit to having the complete microscope and floor stand at 30 pounds or less given the nearly 20 pounds for a Pelican case.
You'll find the EPIC portable microscope full of innovations that have been several years in the making. The following are some of the innovations that you'll enjoy:
