ECLIPSE Ji Intelligent Visualization System

The power of a research microscope in a compact benchtop analyzer!

Now, all the benefits of the high sensitivity and resolution of research-grade microscopes are combined in an easy-to-use benchtop laboratory instrument featuring artificial intelligence and precision optics from Nikon — the next-generation digital inverted microscope, the ECLIPSE Ji

1. Automation powered by artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency of all processes: from sample identification to data visualization

AI automatically sets the focus and exposure settings, captures and analyzes images, and displays data relevant to the analysis. Automating microscope operations with artificial intelligence improves the user’s workflow by ensuring consistency and efficiency from sample setup to report generation. In addition, the system can be used without specialized knowledge, as there is no need to develop image analysis algorithms, and automation increases the accuracy of analysis by reducing human error.

2. Accelerate data analysis by visualizing statistics ranging from individual cells to populations

An intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) simplifies data visualization. For example, selecting a set of data points on a graph highlights the corresponding cells in the image. Since data is stored on a per-cell basis, visualizing and identifying trends at the population level is just as easy as analyzing “outliers” that behave differently from the population. Equipped with a wide range of tools to support user data analysis, the system helps improve efficiency and accelerate research and development.

3. Improved scalability and flexibility of the equipment to meet research needs

ECLIPSE Ji offers hardware expandability comparable to that of an inverted microscope for research purposes, including compatibility with additional systems such as the AX confocal microscope or supplementary high-sensitivity digital microscope cameras. In addition, a benchtop incubator can be easily installed to observe cultured cells in real time. The system’s expandability has been enhanced* to support a wide range of applications, from routine tasks such as basic analyses to applied research.

*When using an AX confocal microscope or high-sensitivity digital cameras, NIS-Elements AR will be used instead of NIS-Elements SE, as the ECLIPSE Ji is recognized as an inverted microscope.

4. All-in-one design for greater flexibility in bench placement

During fluorescence imaging, it perfectly shields the sample from ambient light to maximize image quality. The ECLIPSE Ji does not require a darkroom or a special enclosure, as the microscope is housed in a box-shaped cover, allowing fluorescence studies to be conducted under normal laboratory lighting conditions. In addition, the ECLIPSE Ji features a built-in light source and digital camera, which are efficiently integrated to reduce the overall size of the system.

In addition to analyzing microplates, the ECLIPSE Ji can also serve as a digital research microscope and can be integrated with a variety of peripheral equipment, ranging from filter wheels to confocal systems, such as the AX, or high-sensitivity cameras.
