KEY FEATURES
Bright and uniform Eco-illumination
The Eco-illumination is a low-power-consuming, eco-friendly illumination system that produces uniform brightness and reduces the cost and effort of lamp replacement, thanks to its 60,000 hour, high-luminescent LED. By combining a collimator lens, fly-eye optics and LED illumination, bright and edge-to-edge uniform images can be obtained even at high magnifications. The LED illuminator features low-heat generation and provides the same color temperature at every magnification.
Enhanced operational ease
Observation with a natural posture
Using the ergonomic binocular tube, which features an eyepiece that can be inclined from 10° to 30°and extended up to 40 mm, the microscope can be adjusted for natural posture. The eyelevel riser lifts the eyepiece tube in 25 mm increments (up to 100 mm*) and can easily be adapted to suit users with different eye-point heights.
* Up to 50 mm with ergonomic binocular tube.
User-friendly stage operation
With the addition of a nosepiece spacer, the stage height can be lowered 20 mm from the standard position, reducing strain during frequent specimen change. The stage handle height can also be changed to ensure a comfortable hand position. The stage height can be locked using the refocusing knob, allowing quick refocusing after specimen changes. The stage is coated with a high-durability, scratch-resistant ceramic coating.

Maintains optimal brightness
The light intensity management (LIM) function developed by Nikon automatically stores any changes to brightness settings. This helps avoid drastic changes in brightness when switching between different magnifications during observation, thereby helping to mitigate eye strain.

Effortless image capturing
One simple click of the image capture button on the microscope base during observation enables the Digital Sight camera to capture the specimen image. Camera control software for tablet PC NIS-Elements L is equipped with a scene mode that can automatically set the optimum shooting conditions for each observation method. Since it has a network function, you can share images with a remote PC.

Status Display for easy confirmation at a glance
Quickly and easily check magnification and brightness settings using the display at the base of the microscope without changing your observation posture.
Turning the nosepiece automatically adjusts the scale bar
The scale bar on the PC display changes automatically to match the magnification level, eliminating the need to set the scale manually.

Versatile observation techniques
Phase contrast
High-contrast images with neutral background coloration regardless of the magnification range can be captured. This observation technique is suitable for observation of unstained structures.
Simple polarizing
Ideal for observing bi-refringent samples such as collagen, amyloids and crystals.
* Two types of analyzer are available: intermediate tube type and nosepiece slider type.
Sensitive color polarizing
Enables Identification of uric acid crystals by changes in the interference color. This technique is ideal for gout and pseudo-gout tests.
* Two types of analyzer are available: intermediate tube type and nosepiece slider type.
Darkfield
Enables clear observation of blood or minute structures such as flagella. Dry- and oil-type condensers are available. An expander lens is utilized for brighter imaging.
Epi-fluorescence
Compact epi-fluorescence attachments that utilize noise terminating mechanisms allow weakly fluorescing specimens to be captured with great clarity and brightness. Both CI-FL epi-fluorescence attachment (incorporates up to 4 filter cubes) and D-FL epi-fluorescence attachment (incorporates up to 6 filter cubes) allow easy switching of filter cubes. High-optical-performance objective lenses for epi-fluorescence imaging, including the CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda series and the CFI Plan Fluor series, are available.
