Abstract
This TriMark Publications report deals primarily with the analysis of market
segments of microscopes used in clinical and research laboratories. Emphasis
is on the U.S. markets; however, the worldwide markets are analyzed and
discussed as well. Specifically, this report examines those companies and
products which are actively developing and marketing microscopy devices and
supplies in market segments which have the potential for growth rates above 5%
per year over the next five years. It continues to examine those microscopy
devices operated as light, confocal, electron and scanning probe microscopes.
Also analyzed are applications for certain microscope technology platforms
such as semi-conductor processing systems and automated imaging systems.
Concentration is centered on an overview of individual microscopy markets,
which are believed to possess the elements that will lead to sustained growth
rates for the foreseeable future. This report assesses the current status of
each market, makes projections for market size, discusses the market
strategies of leading companies in each market segment, and evaluates the
forces that underlie the high growth of each segment. Additionally, there' s an
overview of the instruments and supplies marketed by major companies in each
market segment. Analysis of the market size, growth rates, and market
components for instruments used for microscopy are also discussed.
