Use of a new thermally-stable alloy for construction of microscopes means that images will not drift even if the instrument is left unattended for long periods
Nikon's new Eclipse TE2000 series of microscopes have been constructed using a new alloy, M45, which increases structural and thermal stability two-fold over previous models.
M45 is resistant to ambient temperature fluctuations - so even when the microscope is left unmanned for long periods of time, users can be sure that images will not drift.
Unrivalled stability makes these research microscopes an ideal platform for techniques that require steady, vibration-free observations such as time-lapse imaging, IVF micromanipulation methods, multidimensional imaging, and laser microdissection.
Researchers benefit from outstandingly clear, stable images that allow precision and accuracy in observation, measurement, and manipulation.
Accurate multi-dimensional imaging is enhanced in the Eclipse TE2000-E by the incorporation of a Z-axis linear encoder.
Perfect for 3D image capture and deconvolution processing, the Z-axis linear encoder enables ultra-precise steps in the Z-axis direction.
With accuracy to 0.05 microns, incremental stepping improves the overall image accuracy and reduces time wasted in repeating 3D construction.
The Eclipse TE2000's multiport design enables optical input and output 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.
The Eclipse TE2000, in addition, is the first inverted microscope to take full advantage of the infinity space provided by Nikon's CFI60 infinity optical system.
This allows optional attachments to be inserted into the optical path without any modification to the microscope. The Eclipse TE2000 can support a variety of imaging techniques suited to today's demanding research environment.
