UV adhesives are used extensively for precise positioning/alignment of parts. These compounds can be employed for structural or temporary bonding. UV cure adhesives bind well to similar/dissimilar substrates, including metals, rubbers, glass, ceramics, and plastics such as polycarbonates, acrylics, and phenolics. Specific grades offer optical clarity/translucency; dimensional stability; low shrinkage; and resistance to chemicals, fuels, solvents, and moisture. UV adhesives provide protection from environmental degradation from outdoor weathering to meet rigorous end user requirements.

A surgical/operating microscope is an optical device used in surgical settings to carry out microsurgeries. It can be operated electrically or mechanically for a broad range of surgeries, such as, dentistry, neurology, ophthalmology, ENT, and plastic & reconstructive surgery having a considerably high amount of accuracy during the process.
