Optical Microscopes Market size was valued at USD 2.6 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at over 5.8% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. An optical microscope, also known as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that utilizes visible light and lenses to magnify tiny objects. It is one of the oldest and most common types of microscopes, widely used in various scientific fields such as biology, medicine, research, and education. The continuous advancement in optical microscopy serves as a significant driver for the market.
For instance, in 2020, EU-funded researchers employed quantum physics to develop an optical microscope that has the potential to directly observe the tiniest of objects, including many viruses, for the first time. The goal of this EU-funded SUPERTWIN project was to create a new generation of microscopes utilizing advanced technologies.
