Nikon ECLIPSE LV100N POL Polarizing Microscope

The highest level of optical quality, performance, and stability for polarized light microscopy

A high-intensity 50-watt halogen light source is brighter than a standard 100-watt halogen lamp. Low power consumption means less heat generation, thereby reducing the likelihood of focus drift, which is often caused by heating.

KEY BENEFITS

Uniform brightness with diascopic illumination

Nikon’s unique Fly-Eye illuminator lens provides uniform brightness across the entire field of view, making it ideal for digital imaging.

High-precision rotating stage

The large-size stage is pre-set and stops at 45° intervals (click-stops). The stage’s smooth movement ensures stable and effortless rotation, guaranteeing high-quality images.

Since the stage is supported from below near the optical axis and features steel cross-roller guides, it offers excellent stability and durability.

• The focusing travel has been increased to 30 mm, making it easier to observe tall specimens.
• The mechanism for locking the stage at its maximum height ensures easy and safe sample replacement.

Five-position objective turret with centering capability

The objective turret comes with a standard slot for compensators (DIN standard) to accommodate various compensators for advanced quantitative measurements. All five positions feature objective centering.

Intermediate module

The intermediate module includes a Bertrand lens as standard, allowing for both conventional observations and the acquisition of conoscopic and orthoscopic images. The Bertrand lens is focusable and centerable. The high-precision analyzer rotates 360°.

Polarizing Lenses

The CFI60 optical system, renowned in its field, successfully provides long working distances, high aperture, and produces sharp, aberration-free images. The lenses use eco-friendly glass that contains no environmentally harmful substances such as lead or arsenic.

The episcopic objectives belong to the recently developed CFI60-2 series and produce clear, aberration-free images regardless of magnification.

Diascopic/Episcopic Illumination

Thanks to the installation of the universal epi-illuminator LV-UEPI-N, it is possible to observe both diascopic and episcopic polarized light.

The epi-illuminator uses a 50-watt high-intensity lamp as standard, which provides brighter illumination than a conventional 100-watt lamp. A noise-reduction mechanism is used to ensure clear images with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

This model also supports DIC (differential interference contrast) microscopy (when using special accessories and objectives).
