9011.20 - Other microscopes, for photomicrography, cinemicrography or microprojection:

HTS code 9011.20 encompasses microscopes specifically designed for the purpose of photomicrography, cinemicrography, or microprojection. This means the microscope itself is equipped, or intended to be used in conjunction with equipment, to capture still images, moving images, or project enlarged images of specimens. These are distinct from general-purpose microscopes or those primarily designed for direct observation.

Distinguishing 9011.20 from its siblings, 9011.10 specifically covers stereoscopic microscopes, which provide a three-dimensional view. HTS code 9011.80 covers "other microscopes" that do not fit into the specialized categories of stereoscopic or those for imaging/projection. Furthermore, 9011.90 is reserved solely for parts and accessories of microscopes falling under heading 9011, rather than the complete instruments themselves.

Within HTS code 9011.20, further subclassification exists to differentiate based on the integrated imaging capability. Subcategory 9011.20.40 is for microscopes that are "provided with a means for photographing the image," indicating built-in photographic apparatus or direct connectivity. Subcategory 9011.20.80, labeled "Other," would cover those microscopes intended for projection or cinemicrography but lacking integrated still photography capabilities.
