Silex Integrated Multidimensional Microscopy SystemSLX-1000 Series
Organize bio-fluorescence, metallography, professional polarization, infrared, Raman and 3D measurement tasks on the same scalable microscopy platform. Select the measuring head, objective, illumination and analysis module around the sample and task, then move from routine observation to professional analysis in one workflow.
The SLX-1000 Series is an integrated microscopy platform built around modular measurement heads, an infinity-corrected optical system and unified analysis software. The system can be configured for bio-fluorescence, metallography, professional polarization and 3D measurement, with infrared, Raman and other observation capabilities added according to actual tasks.
For laboratories, R&D departments and quality centers that handle multiple samples and analysis tasks, users do not need separate hosts for each observation method. Samples can complete overview positioning, mode switching, local observation, dimensional measurement and analysis-result recording on the same platform, reducing time and data differences caused by sample transfer, repeated clamping and repositioning.

Different observation tasks share a microscope platform.
SLX uses a unified host, precision stage, imaging software and analysis workflow, then supports bio-fluorescence, metallography, professional polarization and other observation directions through different measuring heads, objectives and illumination modules. Users do not need to build a separate equipment and operation process for every task.

03 / Various observation methods
For the same sample, switch to different observation dimensions.
Depending on the measuring head, objective and illumination configuration, the system can observe through brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC), polarization, fluorescence and infrared modes. Each mode enhances different information, such as surface morphology, edges, tissue, fluorescence signals, material orientation or internal structure, helping users understand the same sample from different angles.
04 / Cross-scale observation and large field of view splicing
Build the overview first, then move into the areas that need analysis.
For samples beyond a single field of view, the system can build a sample overview through multi-field acquisition and let users select the location that needs further observation from the overview map. Users can move from low-magnification positioning to high-magnification local analysis, keeping large-area archiving, area review and multi-mode observation continuous.
05 / Observation, Measurement and Analysis
Capture images and turn them into analyzable data.
After microscopic observation, users can continue with 2D measurements such as length, distance, angle and area, then perform 3D morphology, surface-structure or professional analysis according to the selected measuring head and system configuration. Images, annotations, measurement results and analysis records can be saved and exported in the same software process.

06 / Professional capabilities expanded by task
Add specialized capabilities when the analysis task calls for them.
In addition to the three main measuring-head directions, the SLX platform can be configured with infrared microscopy, Raman microscopy and other professional optical or analytical modules according to project needs. Capabilities are combined around tasks, so users do not need to configure every function at the start, and optional capabilities are not presented as default standard configurations.
Use another optical method to reveal another layer of information.
A single observation method often reveals only part of a sample's characteristics. Depending on the measuring head and configuration, SLX can switch between brightfield, darkfield, DIC, polarized light, fluorescence and infrared observation so surface morphology, edges, tissue, fluorescence signals and internal structures can be presented more clearly.
02 / Overall view and details
Move from the full sample back to the small areas that need confirmation.
The system can stitch multiple microscopic fields of view into a complete sample overview while retaining local position relationships. Users can first archive a large-area overview, then select the target area and return to higher magnification or another observation mode for review.
03 / Measurement and Analysis
Observations continue to be converted into comparable data.
After microscopic observation, users can continue with 2D dimensional measurement and professional analysis of 3D morphology, metallographic structures, particles, materials or micro-areas based on the measuring head and analysis module. Different results are organized in the same software process for review, comparison and report output.
04 / Configuration extension
Configure capabilities around tasks, not as a bundled feature list.
SLX is based on a unified microscopy platform. It establishes bio-fluorescence, metallographic analysis and professional polarization directions through three main measuring-head types, then adds infrared, Raman and other professional capabilities according to project needs. Users can plan around current tasks and later expansion, reducing unnecessary investment in equipment and functions.
Model and configuration
Same platform, three main measuring head directions
The SLX model is determined by the measuring head and main observation direction. Users first select bio-fluorescence, metallographic analysis or professional polarization according to the core sample and task, then evaluate whether to add infrared, Raman or other professional measuring heads and functional modules.
SLX Series: combines measuring heads, objectives, illumination and specialized modules around samples and analysis tasks.
