New Eclipse Series 50i and 55i Microscopes

Nikon 55i Pathology and Laboratory Microscope
This is a new technology! Replacing the halogen bulb with a new LED cluster creates a constant and comfortable color temperature for the viewer. By contrast, halogen bulbs change color depending upon the plied voltage. At the end of the day the LED is the more relaxing light source.
Utilizing white LED illumination, the 55i is an ideal choice for brightfield
applications. The color temperature does not change even when the brightness is
altered, making adjusting the color balance filter or voltage unnecessary. The
illuminator does not generate heat. Due to its minimal power consumption, the
55i has an extremely long lamp lifecycle, and its battery drive means it can be
used anywhere.
CFI60 - tried and tested infinity optics. Highly acclaimed optics combine the CF
design with infinity optics and utilize a 60mm parfocal distance, resulting in
longer working distances and high N.A.'s, while producing crisp, clear images
with minimal flare. The CF160 optics are perfect for both observations and
capturing images with a digital camera, and they provide a flexible upgrade path
to accommodate various accessories to meet individual applications.
A new optional DSC port can be combined with an ergonomic tilting/telescoping
tube to balance user needs for both digital-image capture and comfortable
viewing. Including a 0.7X lens that is designed to optimize the image to the
2/3-inch CCD, the same area as that viewed through the eyepieces can be captured
with a C-mount digital camera. A centering and focus adjustment mechanism is
also provided.
Rock-solid stability: Utilizing computer-aided engineering (CAE), the new
microscopes boast superb durability and stability, even during applications in
which they are upgraded with various attachments.
The new ergonomic eyepiece tube can be inclined from 10 degrees to 30 degrees
and the eyepieces can be extended 40mm. This ensures optimum eye point and a
cmfortable viewing posture, regardless of the operator's physique or if
intermediate modules are used.
Refined stage has a stay-in-position stage handle, which stays at the same
postion without interfering with the stage movement. "Alumite," a new hardening
treatment has been applied to the stage surface to increase durability and
smoothness. The refocusing stage eliminates the need to refocus the image
manually each time the specimen is changed and the slide oiled, greatly
improving productivity.
Easy access controls: Frequently used controls and switches for adjusting the
field diaphragm and illumination intensity have been concentrated in the lower
part of the right-hand side to minimize the operator's hand movements and enable
operation without having to take your eyes off the specimen.
The Ergo-View cytodiagnosis unit has been developed for easier and more
comfortable cytology examinations, allowing fast and accurate motorized
magnification changeover with hand switch, a unique quiet, vibration-free
mechanism for magnification change ensures superb parfocality of images and no
deviation in focusing, easy marking while observing the specimen through
eyepieces, and quick exchange of slides with one hand is possible by using an
optional specimen holder for one slide.
