NEW YORK, NY, USA: To say Seiler Instrument Corp.’s precision microscopes have a long history with optics would be a bit of an understatement. With over 64 years of history in dealing with the design and manufacturing of optical equipment, Seiler Instrument Corp. now provides that equipment to the medical, dental, military, architectural, construction and planetarium markets.
Founded in St. Louis in 1945 with the knowledge and expertise by a master of fine optics from the Zeiss University School of Fine Optics in Germany, the Seiler Instrument Corp. began making and repairing small microscopes and survey equipment. In 1950, the Seiler Microscope division was formed to distribute Zeiss (Jena) Surgical Microscopes in North America, making them one of the first surgical microscope providers in the United States.
Seiler has become a major provider of surgical and compound microscopes to the dental, ENT, ob./gyn. and laboratory markets.
New home office
With all of Seiler’s history it is amazing that the word “new” could be used to describe Seiler, but in 2009 that has been one of the most popular terms around their new building. Recently, Seiler has moved its home office from a 70,000-square -foot facility to a new 150,000-square-foot facility to better serve its customers.
New microscopes
In addition to the company’s new building, it has also released two new microscopes for the dental market, the Seiler iQ and the Evolution xR6. “We took a conventional approach to the redevelopment of these scopes. We directly asked the dentists what they wanted in a dental microscope; they told us and we listened,” said Nicholas Toal, marketing coordinator for Seiler.
Listening is something that is normally hard to do for a large company these days, but “Seiler knows that customers are the boss, and catering to those customers keeps the boss happy,” said Dane Carlson, division manager of Seiler Microscopes.
Seiler xR6 and iQ
The Seiler Evolution xR6 is the newly redesigned, six-step microscope that comes with the new 50-watt metal halide bulb, which is the brightest standard light source in the market with a bulb life of over 1,500 hours and a standard halogen backup. Also, Seiler has released the new Seiler iQ that offers the same new light source, but comes in a smaller package with three steps of magnification and a new design.
Both models have five different mounting options: floor, wall, high wall, ceiling and table mounts.
