Reason for the award:

The LGt /2 Galileo work and research microscope, which was awarded the Compasso d'Oro 1959 award, is an exceptional example of integrated design, hence the high level of  performance in the technical-formal conception of the device. While noting in particular detail the considerable level of work that has gone into the profile and section of the arm, the shape of the large viewer regulated by the optical path that generates the image, the harmonious volume of the illuminator and even the expressiveness of the interlocking attachment suitable for all elements and accessories, it must be underlined how the whole concept of the instrument shuns any complacency of fashion that often intervenes in the design of laboratory instruments
