Nikon has announced that it is to launch two super-resolution microscopy systems - the N-Sim and the N-Storm.
The N-Sim microscopy system is claimed to produce two times conventional resolution by combining Structured Illumination Microscopy technology licensed from UCSF based on Nikon's Eclipse Ti research inverted microscope with the CFI Apo TIRF 100x oil objective lens (NA 1.49).
N-Storm is a super-resolution microscope system that combines Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy technology licensed from Harvard University and Nikon's Eclipse Ti, providing enhanced resolution that is said to be10 times that of conventional optical microscopes.
