Upright microscope NAN™

The Sutter NAN™ — A focusing nosepiece microscope designed for electrophysiology. The microscope frame has been reimagined around our highly-stable adjustable MT-70 manipulator gantry stands; this design choice allows for many possible configurations to match the ever-expanding applications in the field of electrophysiology. The NAN is manually height adjustable, with a range of 75mm, which allows a single microscope to be coarsely re-positioned in Z within a few moments to switch between slice work or in vivo. There are two overall height variants of NAN, determined by the nosepiece that is selected. The focusing nosepiece, with 25mm of motorized travel, can be configured with either a single objective nosepiece (Sutter made) or an Olympus 2-position swinging nosepiece. The height of the gantry stands is 15.25cm (6”) or 22.86cm (9”) for the single nosepiece or 2-position swinging nosepiece, respectively. The epi level can be configured with a single filter cube or a complete Olympus epi-illuminator. The transmitted light system is available with a single white light LED or dual white light and IR LED. LED transmitted light illumination uses the Olympus Oblique Coherent Contrast (OCC) condenser, or IR-DIC components for the available contrast methods. The LED(s) are driven by the TLED controller and are capable of being triggered with a digital signal.
