Our optical instruments have been used by astronomers to detect exoplanets, by science students to identify biofuels, and to aid first-responders and firefighters to identify dangerous threats. Explore Scientific gear is used by research scientists, educators, and renowned discoverers. But perhaps the most important thing to us are those young explorers who use our optics that are finding out that their world is much more amazing than they ever realized as they discover for themselves the vastness of the universe, and the intricate structures of tiny life on Earth that is otherwise invisible to the unaided eye.
We built our company on the foundations of solid design, award-winning support, high value, and often once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we share with any would-be explorer. Explore Scientific has done all of this since our formation, but we want to do more. This is why we formed the Explore Alliance.

The EA team is joined by a group of Ambassadors and Affiliate Organizations who not only live the dream, but help guide the Alliance to continuously work to increase scientific literacy through educational outreach to nurture your desire to have transformative experiences and to keep exploring.
Our collective mission is to take you beyond the gear, so you can go beyond the everyday to make your own personal discoveries of the normally hidden wonders of our universe while giving you the long-term support that you need.
Explore Alliance Events and Experiences
