　　Nikon CI Biological MicroscopeWith proven optical and mechanical design techniques, Nikon has launched the compact and high-performance ECLIPSE Ci series upright research microscope. By using high-quality objective lenses and epifluorescence attachments, bright high contrast fluorescence images can be presented. When used in conjunction with Nikon Digital Sight cameras, specimen photography becomes easy and efficient. In addition, a newly developed high brightness LED lighting device with multiple electric components can be installed, featuring excellent ergonomic design to maintain a comfortable posture for observation and photography. The ECLIPSE Ci series microscope, with its excellent optical performance, sophisticated ergonomic design, and easy advanced control, can support a variety of research applications.

Automatic magnification switching (Ci-E)

This model is equipped with electric magnification switching and automatic reproduction of light intensity, which is very suitable for various applications that require frequent switching of magnification.

　　Objective lens converter rotation button

Simply press lightly to switch the objective lens. Additionally, you can customize two commonly used magnification ratios by simply pressing this button to switch between these two objectives.

Objective switching button

　　remote control

After setting a specific button to correspond with a specific objective lens, simply press it lightly to easily change the magnification.

Control Panel

　　Automatic reproduction of lighting intensity

The light intensity defined by the user for each objective lens will be automatically memorized and recalled the next time the objective lens is used, eliminating the hassle of manual adjustment again.

　　Environmentally friendly lighting (Ci-E, Ci-L)

Ergonomic Design

The variety of accessories is abundant, allowing users to observe and capture images in a comfortable posture.

　　Ergonomic binocular tube

The eyepiece angle can be adjusted (10 ° -30 °), and the eyepiece can be extended (up to 40 mm). The camera can be installed through the DSC port.

　　Eye point lifter

It can increase the height of the eye point by 25mm to fit the posture commonly used by users.

　　A cargo platform with adjustable handle height

Easily move the stage by placing your hands in a comfortable position.

　　Lower the position of the loading platform

The height of the stage can be lowered by 20 mm from the standard position through the lens converter pad, making it easy to replace specimens while maintaining a comfortable posture.

　　Enhanced digital imaging operability

ECLIPSE Ci series microscopes, Digital Sight series imaging systems, and NIS Elements imaging software support intelligent image capture with more powerful features.

　　Image capture button

Just press the button on the microscope base lightly to complete the shooting of the Digital Sight series camera.

　　Digital Sight DS-L3 Camera Control Unit

An independent controller equipped with a large-sized display screen can directly capture images without the need for a computer. By using the scene mode icon on the touch screen to select the observation method, you can easily set up and operate the Digital Sight camera. Simple measurement functions such as measuring the distance between two points can be used. In addition, objective lens switching and Ci-E spotlight setting can also be performed. Through network functionality, real-time images can be shared on multiple remote PCs during observation.

　　Multiple observation methods

ECLIPSE Ci-L/Ci-E adopts high brightness environmentally friendly lighting, which can provide sufficient light intensity even for phase contrast and simple polarization observation. Through a variety of accessories, users can perform various observation modes, including fluorescence observation.

　　difference

Regardless of the magnification range, high contrast images with neutral background colors can be obtained. This observation method is suitable for observing structures without staining.

Differential attachments and objective lenses

　　Dark field of view

Clear observation of the subtle structures of blood or flagella is possible. Dry and oil type spotlights can be used. The use of a beam expander can obtain higher brightness illumination.

Simple polarization

Very suitable for observing birefringent specimens such as collagen, amyloid, and crystals.

　　Sensitive color polarization

By changing the interference color, the formation of uric acid crystals in organisms can be identified, which is very suitable for testing gout and pseudogout.

Dihydrocarbon adenine crystal (sodium urate crystal) simple polarizing attachment (sensitive color polarizing attachment)

　　Epifluorescence

The compact fluorescence attachment adopts Ci series noise cancellation device, which captures bright fluorescence images with high contrast and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). The filter block turntable can accommodate up to four filter blocks, making replacement very simple. The name and location of the filter block are located on the fluorescent label in front of the attachment, which can be easily identified even in dimly lit rooms. The filter or dichroic mirror in the filter block can be easily replaced to flexibly match various combinations.
