Discussing the development of the ECLIPSE Ji, the next-generation digital inverted microscope

Digital transformation is underway in many areas, the generation of digital natives has become the new powerhouse of society, and time-sensitive, performance-driven work styles are prevalent. What kind of microscope does this paradigm shift require? The ECLIPSE Ji is Nikon's answer. Three members of the team involved in the development of the ECLIPSE Ji tell us about the project.

The passions behind the development of the ECLIPSE Ji, a high-performance digital inverted microscope that anyone can use easily.

The Nikon ECLIPSE Ji is a digital inverted microscope that is equipped with proprietary AI to streamline workflows, such as those for handling cell observation, analysis, data acquisition, and reporting. It can be easily operated by anyone by automating cumbersome tasks, is a benchtop model that does not require a darkroom, and features various innovative functions, while offering expandability to meet a wide range of needs. This is a microscope that provides new value to users. Here, the team members in charge of hardware design, product design, and software development who were involved in this project share their insights about the development process.
