The highest level of optical quality, operability, and stability for polarized light microscopy.
The newly developed high-intensity 50W halogen light source is brighter than a conventional 100W halogen lamp. Low power consumption means less heat generation, thereby reducing the chance of heat-induced focus drift.
Key Features
Uniform brightness with diascopic illumination
Nikon's unique fly-eye lens employed in the diascopic illumination optics ensures uniform brightness throughout the visual field - perfect for digital imaging.
High-precision rotating stage
The stage is large, pre-adjusted, and click-stops in 45° increments. The smooth stage movement allows stable and easy rotation, providing high operability and high-quality polarized images.
Because the stage is supported from the bottom near the optical axis and incorporates steel cross roller guides, it offers excellent stability and durability.
Focus stroke has been improved to 30mm, facilitating observation of tall samples.
Clamp-type upper limit focusing mechanism makes for easy and safe sample exchange.
Reversed centering quintuple nosepiece
Nosepiece comes with a DIN standard compensator slot to accept various compensators for advanced quantitative measurements. All five objectives are center-able.
Intermediate tube
The intermediate tube incorporates a Bertrand lens as standard, enabling both the observation and capture of conoscopic and orthoscopic images. The Bertrand lens is focusable and centerable. The high precision slider-type analyzer is rotatable for a full 360°.
