Bringing together Nikon's well-known CFI 60 andCFI LU60 infinity optics, the LV-UDM has a truly modular design which allows seven different contrast techniques to be selected
Nikon has expanded its Eclipse series with the new LV- universal design microscope (UDM).
From individual cells to multi-stained tissue, a wide range of samples can now be easily visualised using reflected transmitted light, epi fluorescence, phase contrast, quantitative polarisation as well as both surface and through-the-sample differential interference contrast.
Coupling the LV-UDM with the well-established Nikon digital camera range and the NIS Elements software, this microscope provides a capable and comprehensive solution to today's most challenging mixed illumination and contrasting applications.
The universal microscope is suited to both routine and complex R+D applications.
The LV-UDM can be supplied as a manual version, the LV100D-U, or as a motorised option, the LV100DA-U.
With its capacity for Z-stacks and extended depth of focus, the LV100DA-U meets all requirements for digital imaging and analysis.
Both versions deliver the highest levels of resolution, contrast and transmission, leading to clear aberration free images.
By simply making the correct combination of the illuminator, nosepiece, condenser and objective lenses, researchers are now able to select the perfect setting for their requirements, without the need to continually change hardware.
