Nikon Eclipse Ts2 Inverted Microscope

Nikon’s new Eclipse TS2 series of inverted microscopes is the ideal solution for routine research. The microscope is available in two versions: with a transmitted light illuminator (Eclipse TS2) or with a transmitted light illuminator and epi-fluorescence (Eclipse TS2-FL).

Easy to use and compact

Thanks to the CFI60 optical system and LED illumination for both diascopic and epifluorescent imaging, the ECLIPSE Ts2 inverted microscope delivers brilliant image clarity, allowing for more effective observation and documentation of specimens. 

Efficient and comfortable observation

LED light sources and built-in diascopic/epifluorescent illumination systems reduce setup time and allow users to focus on their research.

LED illuminators

LED lighting eliminates the need to replace lamps or wait for the illuminator to warm up, allowing you to conduct your observations quickly and efficiently.

In addition, the Contrast Shield option (optional) ensures a high fluorescence signal-to-noise ratio even in brightly lit rooms.

Optimized Controls

The control buttons on the Ts2 microscope are positioned to simplify the workflow. Frequently used controls, such as the power on/off buttons and the switch between diascopic and epi-fluorescence modes, are located on the front panel for easy access. 

The buttons for diascopic and epifluorescent controls are located on the left and right sides of the microscope body, respectively, to avoid confusion and improve workflow efficiency.

Easy-to-use stage

The mechanical stage is designed to accommodate various cell culture plates and dishes. The new design allows even 96-well plates to be placed on it, and the sample holder is easily removable, allowing for the placement of large flasks.

New "Emboss Contrast" method

Emboss Contrast provides pseudo-3D, high-contrast images and is suitable even for thick samples, such as iPS cells, which are typically difficult to visualize using traditional phase-contrast methods. In addition, Emboss Contrast is compatible with both glass and plastic culture dishes.

Compact and highly durable housing

Illumination modules, including an epi-fluorescence light source, are integrated into the microscope’s main body, creating a compact, simple, and durable design. 

The design is also vibration-resistant, ensuring highly stable sample observation.

The camera port is located on the side of the microscope to ensure an unobstructed view.
