For material science applications, stereo microscopes equipped for fluorescence are used to observe structures of material or to determine chemical elements of substances with help of fluorophores
When exposed to so-called "exicitation light", some material or chemical elements absorbs energy from the excitation light and emits ligth in another visible wavelength. This make it possible to observe structures of different material of to identify the presence or absence of certain chemaical substances
Euromex fluorescence stereo microscopes are constructed with an 100 W incident mercury vapor light source, a set of excitation and emission filters and a dichroic mirror
