Biology & Life Science Microscopes – Precise insights into the world of life

From school education through clinical diagnostics in hospitals to cutting-edge research in the laboratory: Ryf AG is your Swiss specialist for first-class transmitted-light and life-science microscopes from the world’s leading brands.

Excellent optics for diagnostics, research and teaching.

The study of cells, tissues and organisms demands optical excellence, absolute reliability and optimum ergonomics. Whether in histology, cytology, microbiology, haematology or environmental biology – each discipline has its own specific requirements in terms of illumination, contrast techniques and image documentation.

Ryf AG offers you a comprehensive, manufacturer-independent range of biology and life science microscopes from world-class manufacturers such as Leica Microsystems, Nikon, Euromex, Motic and Optika.

Whether you need an upright routine microscope, an inverted research system for cell cultures, polarisation microscopy or modern fluorescence imaging – we support you every step of the way, from selecting the perfect system right through to long-term maintenance, delivered directly to your premises in Switzerland.

Why choose biology microscopes from Ryf AG?

• Optimal ergonomics for long hours in the laboratory: height-adjustable tubes, symmetrically arranged controls and automatic brightness adjustment minimise strain on the neck and shoulders during hours of sample analysis.
• State-of-the-art LED illumination systems: Consistent colour temperature at every brightness level, an extremely long service life and minimal heat generation – gentle on heat-sensitive biological samples.
• Flexible contrast techniques Nothing remains hidden: equip your microscopes for brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, differential interference contrast (DIC) or fluorescence, as required.
• Digital image processing & cameras Integrate C-mount cameras (e.g. Jenoptik Gryphax, Nikon DS-Fi3) and software for precise measurement, documentation and image analysis.
• Swiss service & support since 1965 We don’t just sell instruments – our own team of technicians handles installation, calibration, maintenance and repairs directly in your laboratory.
