Microscopes in Education
Products for Microscopes for Education The ECLIPSE Si upright microscope is focused on user comfort, designed for heavy use by educators and other professionals. Featuring an expanded array of contrasting techniques, camera compatibility, and intelligent features, the Si can be used as an instructor instrument. Features such as automatic turning off illumination after a period of inactivity and a vertical stage stop for worry-free focusing are also useful in the classroom. Teaching heads are available.
The ECLIPSE Ei upright microscope is designed for student use, featuring a simple color-coded interface for intuitive navigation of microscope settings. Both the Ei and Si are available with Online Guides – web-based instructional resources containing step-by-step guides for microscope alignment and operation, supporting remote and independent learning.
The SMZ745 / SMZ745T stereo microscopes feature a Greenough type optical system with 7.5X zoom magnification and 115 mm working distance. The air-tight, anti-fungal, and anti-electrostatic design helps these stereo microscopes handle the rigors of classroom use. The SMZ445 / SMZ460 stereo microscopes also feature a Greenough optical system and are the most compact and cost-effective stereo microscopes offered by Nikon.
Nikon’s Digital Sight series cameras provide several options well-suited to educational use. Our most recent color camera, the Digital Sight 1000, can be directly connected to a display via HDMI for live video rate display of full HD images (2.0 megapixels). Images can be saved directly to an SD card. The DS-Fi3 color CMOS camera provides greater sensitivity and resolution (5.9 megapixels). The NIS-Elements L camera controller and software works for both camera models, allowing for acquisition, remote image sharing, and basic analysis functions such as annotations and distance measurements.
