Who we are
Opticsandlab is a part of Sablicon Media. Our website is a trusted source of information on an array of topics related to optical devices and lab equipment. It is a free resource for anyone from medical students who need a microscope to hunters who are looking for the right pair of binoculars for the field or woods.
What is our goal? We try to bring you the accurate information that you need in order to select the right product for your needs. Our research is a lengthy and detailed process, and it is always performed by an expert in a particular field – whether that is a birder, a seasoned astronomer, or a medical worker.
What we do
We use the concept of Simplexity when we create our articles. We try to help the people that visit our site to save as much time as possible so that they can make the best purchase for their budgets and specific needs. Despite being written by experts and curated by a team of editors, you aren’t going to find overly complicated terms or jargon in our articles.
We want to simplify the message so that anyone, no matter their experience or background, can understand it clearly. We also want to help consumers to make the best buying decision, and our mission is providing you with buying advice that’s easy to understand, and that will assist you in finding the right telescope, microscope, borescope, or pair of binoculars.
We’ve written plenty of other articles on a variety of topics from magnifiers to trail cameras and spotting scopes. As you will see, our site is rather diverse and packed with lots of helpful information on almost all types of optical instruments.
Our research explained
Our team is composed of several birders, experienced astronomers, medical students, and lab workers and we always create our articles based on their recommendations. They know what problems they have faced in the past, and they understand the right approach to the product category before even beginning the research process.
Our team reviews all of the topics that we have in line for the Opticsandlab editorial calendar. Following this stage, drafts are checked by our editors. This process is what makes it possible for us to published several articles every month.
We have a consumer first mindset, and that’s the reason why all of the articles that recommend products on this site contain clear and unbiased information. Our site is a resource hub for anyone looking to get an optical device or lab equipment.
