The set-up behind the microscope — and the desk around it.
The real instruments, devices and everyday gear PathoCaps actually uses — from the microscopy bench to the desk it sits next to — reviewed the way a colleague would explain them — full specs, an editor's radar score, and a side-by-side comparator so you can decide with your eyes open.
How every score is built.
Every product gets the same six-axis review before it earns a spot here — no manufacturer ever pays for placement or a better score.
- 1Real use. Priority goes to what actually shows up in a pathology bench or reading routine — not generic lab gear.
- 2Full specs, no gaps. Every technical field is pulled from the manufacturer listing; anything unavailable shows as "—", never guessed.
- 3Editor's radar score. Value, ease of use, utility, durability, portability and an overall score — computed the same way for every product so they're genuinely comparable.
- 4Honest pros & cons. If something is a real drawback, it's listed as one — nothing here is written to only sell.
