Nikon Eclipse LV100N POL LED
SKU:Ni-Eclipse-LV-100N-POL-LED
Nikon’s Eclipse polarizing microscopes are renowned for their ability to produce brighter, clearer, and higher contrast images. The LV100N POL LED continues this tradition. Both diascopic and episcopic polarizing observations are possible by utilizing the LV-UEPI-N Universal Epi-illuminator. It is possible to switch between illumination techniques of the LV100N POL LED with a simple action. Furthermore, the epi-illuminator uses a bright, long-lasting LED light source equipped with a noise-terminator mechanism to provide sharp images with high S/N ratios.
With an optional universal-type nosepiece and DIC accessories such as objectives, episcopic differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is also possible.
The LV100N POL LED is equipped with a bright, long-lasting LED light source which produces minimal heat, reducing heat related focus drift.
- Nikon’s unique stage mount design ensures exceptional stability.
- The nosepiece comes equipped with a DIN standard compensator slot.
- All five objective positions on the nosepiece are centerable.
- Boasts CFI60 infinity optics for high NA and longer standard working distances.
- The clamp-type upper limit focusing mechanism for easy and safe sample exchange while protecting both the sample and optics from collision damage.
- The robust microscope body is designed for stability and years of dependable use.
Light Source
The epi-illuminator uses a bright, long-lasting LED light source equipped with a noise-terminator mechanism to provide sharp images with high S/N ratios.
Lead and Arsenic Free Objective Lenses
CFI Achromat P objective series (for diascopic illumination): The unique Nikon CFI60 infinity optics successfully deliver longer standard working distances and high numerical apertures, offering superb image flatness, contrast and cost performance.
CFI objective series (for diascopic/episcopic illumination): The CFI TU Plan Fluor EPI P series of CFI60-2 objectives produce incredibly sharp aberration-free images regardless of magnification.
Nikon CFI infinity optics utilize eco-glass which is manufactured without the use of harmful substances such as lead and arsenic.
30mm Focusing Stroke
The 30mm focus stroke facilitates observation of tall samples.
Bertrand Lens Incorporated into Design of Intermediate Tube
The intermediate tube incorporates a Bertrand lens as standard, enabling both the observation and capture of conoscopic and orthoscopic images. The Bertrand lens is focusable and centerable.
Rotatable Slider Type Analyzer
The high precision slider-type analyzer located in the intermediate tube is rotatable for a full 360°.
Reduced Focus Drift
Focus drift resulting from light source heat is greatly reduced by virtue of the lower power consumption and heat generated from the new LED light source.
High-Precision Rotating Stage
The stage is large, pre-adjusted, and has click-stops in 45° increments. The smooth stage movement allows stable and easy rotation, providing high operability and high-quality polarized images. Because the stage is supported from the bottom near the optical axis and incorporates steel cross roller guides, it offers excellent stability and durability.
