Native image of the sample surface
without staining
Maximum microscope magnification
up to x1000
up to 2 μm
Optical analysis resolution
Documentation of results
Option for photo documentation and reporting
The Chemical Laboratory of the Saint Petersburg Technopark offers microscopic analysis using the relief contrast method. This method allows for obtaining a detailed image of the surface of the studied sample without additional preparation or staining, enhancing the perception of microrelief and depth of structure.

Microscopy is performed on professional equipment and is suitable for assessing the morphology of powders, suspensions, crystalline structures, agglomerates, and other solid-phase and semi-liquid systems. The study can be used as a standalone procedure or as part of an analytical or synthetic project.

Upon request, a report with photo documentation, description of observed structures, and interpretation of results is provided.
Applications
Quality control of pharmaceutical and chemical samples
Assessment of homogeneity, crystallinity, and aggregation
Morphology study during lyophilization or synthesis
Comparative analysis of samples before and after processing
Work stages
Compatibility check with the method; substrate preparation if necessary.
Advantages
Fast native analysis without preparation
Visualization without sample destruction
Suitable for pharmaceutical and chemical materials
