Nikon LV100N Industrial Microscope
A universal microscope bringing together Nikon's world renowned CFI60 and CFI LU60 optical systems.
The Eclipse Universal Design Microscope is a breakthrough universal microscope platform – able to meet the demands of the academic and industrial fields. With its newly designed turret condenser and motorized nosepiece, the LV-UDM is a unique multifunctional microscope that can be used in bioscience and material science applications without the need to change hardware.
Key Features
Universal Condenser Lens
More Diascopic FeaturesBrightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple ol and phase contrast observation are all possible. Simply select the condenser position for the method you wish to use.
Universal Nosepiece
No Nosepiece Changeover NecessaryThe Eclipse LV-UDM is currently available in two models: LV100D-U (manual) and the LV100DA-U (motorized). The LV100DA-U features a newly developed motorized nosepiece. In addition to brightfield and darkfield observation, the LV-NU5AI Universal Nosepiece enables a wide range of observation methods including episcopic and diascopic DIC. The LV-NCNT2 motorized nosepiece controller can be used in combination with the LV-NU5AI on the LV100D-U.
Objectives
The LV series utilizes Nikon's world renowned CFI60 & CFI LU60 infinity optics to provide world-class optical performance, with the highest levels of resolution, contrast, and transmission and longer working distances. Clear, aberration-free images are the standard.
CFI Plan Fluor
CFI Plan Fluor objectives have high transmission throughout the entire visible spectrum including applications that require IR and UV. These objectives can be used in all transmitted light applications including brightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple Pol and epifluorescence. They are designed for use with specimens using standard coverslips unlike the CFI LU Plan Fluor objectives, which are designed for uncovered or opaque materials. A number of these objectives have correction collars which can compensate for glass windows up to 2mm thick with long working distances for chamber applications.
CFI Plan Fluor DL/DLL
CFI Plan Fluor DL/DLL lenses provide phase contrast observation. Phase Contrast allows for observation of transparent or low contrast materials such as plastics, fibers and emulsions. They can be used for other applications such as brightfield, fluorescence and DIC with very acceptable results. They are designed for use with coverslips.
CFI LU Plan Fluor
CFI LU Plan Fluor lenses have high transmittance in the ultraviolet region, making them suitable for use with many methods including episcopic/diascopic brightfield, episcopic/diascopic darkfield (only BD objective lens for episcopic darkfield), episcopic DIC, simple polarization, and epifluorescent (visible/UV) observation. They are designed for use without a coverglass.
CFI P Achromat
CFI POL Achromat lenses are strain-free and designed for quantitative transmitted polarized light applications. They are designed for use with coverslipped specimens.
CFI LU Plan EPI P
CFI LU Plan EPI POL are strain-free and designed for quantitative reflected and transmitted polarized light applications with materials that have no coverslip.
NIS-Elements Imaging Software
Nikon's NIS-Elements series is used for the control software. This software allows the user to perform everything from basic image capture to the measurement, analysis, and management of captured images. Users can add a wide array of the plug-ins to basic packages according to their intended use.
