To meet the demands of clinical laboratory specialists and researchers, Nikon has reviewed all aspects of microscope usability to develop the ECLIPSE Ci series of microscopes, which combines superior functionality with operational ease. The Ci is designed to ensure natural posture while viewing images, sample changing and capturing images. Bright, eco-friendly LED illumination reduces the need for frequent lamp replacement*. A variety of accessories are available that support various imaging techniques.
Manual model with LED illumination
Equipped with LCD and Light Intensity Management (LIM) function based on ECLIPSE Ci-L which is designed with a focus on ease-of-use as well as the health and working styles of people involved in research.
Motorized magnification switching
Magnification can be easily changed during observation with the touch of a button on the ECLIPSE Ci-E microscope body. The buttons can also be programmed for specific objective lenses for easy switching between specific pairs. User-defined light intensity for each magnification is automatically saved and reproduced when magnification is changed. The remote control pad can also be used to easily change magnifications.
Bright and uniform Eco-illumination
The Eco-illumination* is a low-power-consuming, eco-friendly illumination system that produces uniform brightness and reduces the cost and effort of lamp replacement, thanks to its 60,000 hour, high-luminescent LED. By combining a collimator lens, fly-eye optics and LED illumination, bright and edge-to-edge uniform images can be obtained even at high magnifications. The LED illuminator features low-heat generation and provides the same color temperature at every magnification.
Enhanced operational ease
Using the ergonomic binocular tube, which features an eyepiece that can be inclined from 10° to 30°and extended up to 40 mm, the microscope can be adjusted for natural posture. The eyelevel riser lifts the eyepiece tube in 25 mm increments (up to 100 mm*) and can easily be adapted to suit users with different eye-point heights.
Exceptional comfort for clinical and laboratory
- High-luminescent eco - friendly LED (eco-illuminations)
- Ci- E offers motorized magnification switching and automatic light intensity reproduction, enabling use of motorized condenser
- Ci-L plus has a light intensity management (LIM) feature for automatic light intensity reproduction, and an ECO mode that automatically turns the lighting off.
- It is also equipped with an LCD screen that displays the magnification, illumination, etc.
- By connecting the camera the scale bar display is automatically adjusted to match the magnification when the nosepiece is rotated
- Eye-Point height can be lifted using an eyelevel riser
- Stage height can be lowered by adding a nosepiece spacer, and locked for easy refocusing. Height-adjustable stage handle, Durable, scratch-resistant ceamic-coated stage
- Built- in capture button allows easy imaging with the Ds_fi3/DS_Ri2 camera
