KEY FEATURES
Pursuing efficient workflow
The ECLIPSE Si has been developed with the primary goal of reducing fatigue during microscope usage. The ECLIPSE Si eliminates unnecessary adjustments and enables efficient and comfortable operation. The ergonomic design also enables natural posture, even when carrying out repetitive tasks.
Maintaining comfortable brightness when switching magnifications
Objectives with different magnifications transmit light to varying degrees. Therefore, light intensity must be adjusted every time the user changes the objective. In addition, when switching from high to low magnification objectives, the sudden increase in brightness often causes eye strain. The ECLIPSE Si features the intelligent Light Intensity Management (LIM) which automatically remembers and sets the light intensity level for each objective. The LIM feature reduces up to 40% of the time spent on adjusting light intensities*. With the ECLIPSE Si, users can increase comfort and save time even when the routine requires frequent magnification changes.


Low stage for effortless slide replacement
The height of ECLIPSE Si stage is 135 mm, which is about 50 mm lower than our conventional microscopes. The lower stage design reduces the range of motion required to exchange specimen slides, and in turn this can reduce arm and shoulder fatigue. Since the position of the stage movement knob is also lower, different areas on the specimen slide can be easily explored while resting your hands on the table. The lever for opening and closing the specimen holder has also been designed to be ergonomic with an easy-to-operate size and shape. Furthermore, the ECLIPSE Si features a 30% smaller stage compared to our conventional microscopes in order to optimise slide replacement.
Enables natural posture to be maintained throughout the entire microscope workflow
The inclination angle of the eyepiece tube is 45 degrees, which enables observation through the eyepieces while maintaining a natural posture. The low stage design also allows you to seamlessly switch from looking through the eyepieces to checking the slide placement on the stage without having to adjust your posture. An optional eye-level riser is also available to further tailor the height of the eyepieces.


Worry free focusing thanks to vertical stop
The ECLIPSE Si is equipped with a stopper that can be used to set the upper limit of the stage height. The stage stops at the set height even when the focus knob is turned, thereby eliminating the risk of over-focusing and breaking the slides or damaging the objectives. Specimen exchange and focusing can be performed with confidence, without worrying about the stage height.

Easy operation just by turning the screw at the height you want to set

The stage does not rise above the set height.
Superior Optics for High Quality Images
Nikon’s advanced optical technologies, culminating from a long tradition as a microscope manufacturer, play a vital role in the ECLIPSE Si. The ability to fulfill the need for accurate observation of specimens is a source of pride for us.




Excellent image flatness and chromatic aberration correction
The ECLIPSE Si employs CFI E Plan series objectives, which feature flat, sharp images up to the periphery of the field of view. These objectives are part of the CFI60 infinity-corrected optical system, which achieves both high resolution and long working distances. A wide variety of Nikon CFI60 objectives are available.
Long-life LED with constant color temperature
The high-intensity, white LED light source, features a long life of up to 60,000 hours. Since the color temperature remains constant even when the brightness is changed, the color of the image does not change when changing magnifications.
Uniform brightness up to the periphery of the field of view
The illumination system features an integrated fly-eye lens which provides uniform brightness over the entire field of view.
Blocking light from outside the field of view
The ECLIPSE Si is equipped with a field diaphragm that can be used to limit the illumination range for optimal observation and image acquisition. Adjusting the field diaphragm suppresses the occurrence of flare and ghosting, enabling high contrast image observation. During fluorescence observation, the range of photobleaching of specimens can also be limited.
