Scope Tools is the current manufacturer of precision microTools originally created in the mid 1950's and produced by Circon Corp. (aka Circon-ACMI, ACMI Corp., GyrusACMI). Scope Tools purchased the microTool product line from GyrusACMI (a division of Olympus Corporation) in March, 2009.
Scope Tools' employees have over 32 years of combined work experience at Circon Corp. and are poised to produce quality precision miniature hand tools with short lead times. Our realistically proportioned miniature hand tools are primarily used for applications that require microscopes or other magnification and have been used by many of the finest micro-electronics companies and educational institutions during the past 50+ years.
We understand that Circon microTools have been difficult to find during the past 10-15 years as the division became a smaller and smaller portion of a growing medically based company (Circon buying ACMI & Cabot Medical, Gyrus buying Circon-ACMI and huge Olympus Corp. buying GyrusACMI for their growing medical division). We are providing this site to help make previous users aware that these fine tools continue to exist.
Very few people are familiar with Scope Tools and our mission of quality and ready availability of Circon microTools so we would be pleased to hear from you! Call or email us with your needs and questions. We look forward to interacting with you about your very unique applications. Our current product catalog is available in pdf format upon request.
