The C1 boasts the world's smallest and lightest scanning head that can be easily mounted on upright or inverted microscopes, together with other equipment, such as manipulators and digital cameras, without any compromise in microscope performance.
The use of infinity optics in the Eclipse TE2000-E means that a laser light source can be easily accommodated without modification of the microscope.
The C1 is supplied with a series of lasers that support almost every fluorescence probe used in today's research.
Lasers can be mixed and matched to suit excitation requirements, and users can chose from a two or three laser package according to needs.
'Noise Terminator' technology in the Eclipse TE2000-E creates an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio allowing the excitation intensity to be lowered - a real advantage in reducing the possibility of damage during live cell imaging.
This, together with improved fluorescence transmission, and high quantum efficiency photomultiplier tubes, provide exceptionally clear, sharp images.
Multiport design enables optical input and output of light and images, from a wide variety of illumination and detector equipment.
CCTV cameras, high sensitivity detectors, digital still cameras and SLRs can be used in any combination, separately or simultaneously.
Camera mounts can also be selected from C, F, or standard SLR-mounts.
All components of the Eclipse TE2000-E and C1 confocal system are modular in design for easy expansion and maintenance.
The latest lasers, detectors and other equipment can be easily incorporated as they become available - making the Eclipse TE2000 inverted microscope and C1 combination the long-term answer to confocal research needs. Request a free brochure from Nikon UK ...
