Confocal system brings live cell imaging to life
The A1 is Nikon's powerful new fully-automated confocal imaging system capable of capturing high-quality confocal images of cells and molecular events at high speed and enhanced sensitivity
The new Ergo-View one-touch nosepiece and objective changeover system also includes an easy-to-use slide marking function.
This permits areas of interest to be marked while still observing the specimen, and removes the need to rotate the nosepiece, giving a further boost to work efficiency.
With the Ergo-View fitted on the Eclipse 55i, users can perform observations at a constant brightness as the intensity of the LED illumination automatically adjusts with changes in magnification.
This approach is ideal for bright field applications, overcoming excessive heat and colour temperature changes that occur with halogen light sources when changing from high to low intensity.
The digital LED illumination provides a bright, homogenous distribution across the whole field of view for optimal viewing and digital imaging.
Since the illuminator is built into the base, the diaphragm can be adjusted for comprehensive Koehler illumination. Request a free brochure from Nikon UK ...
