Nikon Introduces the Eclipse E100 Infinity Corrected Educational Microscope
Oct 13, 2006
Designed for Years of High Quality Use
Nikon Instruments Inc, a leader in the development of advanced optical technology, today announced the new Eclipse E100 Educational Microscope. The Eclipse E100 is an infinity corrected microscope with a small footprint to fit within tight storage cabinet space.
The Eclipse E100 is an upright microscope with outstanding optical performance combined with elegant ergonomic touches. Ideal for education and routine laboratory use, the Eclipse E100 incorporates Nikon's revolutionary CFI optical system with advanced optical specifications.
Nikon's CFI objectives excel at correcting both chromatic aberration and curvature of the field of view, plus feature longer working distances and higher numerical apertures. A new series of BE Plan Achromat objectives have been designed especially for the E100 with excellent optical corrections and very flat (Plan) optical performance. The Eclipse E100 provides clear bright images at every magnification. The result is first class optical quality at a modest price.
The E100 Infinity-corrected microscope allows the use of other auxiliary components and accessories, such as a trinocular body tube for image documentation and phase contrast objectives and condensers for observing unstained specimens.
"Nikon's Eclipse E100 is a perfect solution for educational institutions," said Stan Schwartz, marketing vice president, Nikon Instruments. "We have responded our educational users who want an additional choice in stand sizes as well as the ability to acquire Nikon's CFI optical system with an economically cost effective investment."
Designed for a wide range of users, the E100 is suitable for the inexperienced novice and incorporates a number of design features that protect slides and objectives from damage. When using short working distance objectives the upper limit of the stage movement can be set so that the objective does not hit the specimen slide -- protecting both the objective and the slide from damage. Novice users who need to change slides often can perform their job easily, quickly and safely.
