Nikon
Eclipse LV100 POL & Eclipse 50i POL
with Image Analysis Software |
|
Outstanding
optical performance, perfect for a wide variety of imaging applications. Both
microscopes offer advanced polarizing microscopy under both diascopic and
episcopic illumination.
|
|
| |
Both diascopic and
episcopic polarizing observations are possible by mounting the LV-UEPI
universal epi-illuminator
|
|
| |
The illuminator is
brighter than a 100W lamp |
|
| |
With an optional
universal-type nosepiece and DIC accessories, differential interference
contrast (DIC) microscopy is also possible
|
|
| |
Nosepiece uses the
same DIN standard compensator slot as more expensive models
|
|
| |
All objectives on
the nosepiece are centerable
|
|
| |
Uses CFI60 optics,
realizing both high NA and long working distance
|
|
| |
Clamp-type focusing
mechanism makes for easy, safe specimen exchange
|
|
| |
Excellent cost
performance balanced with superb basic performance as a polarizing microscope
|
|
| |
Seamlessly integrate
your microscope and PC to capture, annotate, measure, and archive images using
our state-of-the-art OmniMet image analysis software
