Modular Upright Research Microscopes for Bioscience and Medical Research

The Nikon evolution in upright biological microscopes has advanced with the new Eclipse Ni series. Using core  technology from Nikon’s renowned Eclipse Ti inverted research microscope, the Eclipse Ni series offers multi-mode  system expandability to meet the imaging needs of bioscience and medical research on one platform.

The new Ni range also provides superior optical performance with new CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda series objectives, and the flexibility of assisted observation by motorisation. The range comprises the fully motorised Eclipse Ni-E flagship model with focusing nosepiece or focusing stage options, and the manual Eclipse Ni-U with  motorisation upgrade capability.

Nikon’s highly acclaimed proprietary stratum structure in the Ni series opens up a  vast range of imaging possibilities that can be upgraded at any time. Both models support research into the reactions and changes of stimulated cells with a newly developed photoactivation unit, a first for upright microscopes. The Eclipse Ni-E is also configurable for multiphoton imaging, as well as offering the option of fixed-stage configurations  to meet the demands of experiments such as in vivo imaging for cardio vascular and neuroscience research  applications.

The new Eclipse Ni microscopes use the latest version 4.0 release of NIS-Elements software enabling  microscope, camera and confocal control, thereby removing the need for a laboratory to rely on separate software.  Image acquisition and analysis is improved with over 100 new functions. Superior optical performance is ensured  through Nikon’s new CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda series objectives with Nano Crystal Coat technology.  Transmission and chromatic aberration correction have been improved throughout the wide range of visible to near IR wavelengths (950nm), providing bright, high-contrast, high signal-to-noise ratio and multi-colour fluorescence images with no perceivable focus shift when used with any wavelength.

A comprehensive range of high speed, motorised  accessories, specifically configured according to application, augment the improved features to meet all research  requirements.
