Three types of DIC are now available providing researchers a choice of standard, high contrast or high resolution DIC, allowing them to tailor imaging capabilities to their application
Nikon Instruments Europe has announced the complete redesign of its DIC system for the Eclipse TE2000, 90i and 80i research microscopes.
With enhanced resolution researchers can visualise minute structures with superb clarity and contrast.
Three types of DIC are now available providing researchers a choice of standard, high contrast or high resolution DIC, allowing them to tailor imaging capabilities depending on their application.
The DIC prism is the key to creating the 3D effect in DIC imaging.
By making changes to the material composition of the prism, Nikon says it has been able to generate uniformly crisp images that demonstrate high contrast and high resolution - even at low magnifications.
The 3D effect of DIC imaging can also be adjusted and optimised on Eclipse 90i and 80i upright models equipped with a rotatable stage, by altering the shear direction of the DIC image.
The result is sharper imaging revealing more structural information about the specimen under observation.
Enhanced DIC imaging is just one of the imaging techniques offered by the Eclipse series.
The versatile microscopy platforms provide the widest range of system expansion ever available, from a basic laboratory version to top-level, cutting- edge research system, incorporating all light microscopy techniques and configurations.
