NIKON ECLIPSE Ni-L
Upright Microscopes for Research
The ECLIPSE Ni-L is Nikon's flagship upright microscope, boasting great optical performance and high system expandability. Combined with high-performance objectives, it can accurately visualize microstructure of the sample with high resolution. Adopting a stratum structure that allows simultaneous mounting of multiple fluorescence attachments, it provides great flexibility to freely combine various accessories as needed.
Manual model with built-in LED light source
- Manual focus
- Motorized nosepiece and motorized fluorescence cube turret available
- Built-in high color rendering LED light source
- Standard model suitable for brightfield observation of pathological specimens and digital imaging
- Supports a variety of activities, from research to routine examinations
Imaging of fluorescent-labeled specimens
In combination with a motorized nosepiece and a motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret, each unit is automatically controlled according to the camera settings such as exposure time, camera gain, and time interval, allowing fast, efficient image acquisition.
The motorized epi-fluorescence cube turret shutter, which helps to reduce photobleaching of specimens, is easily operated with a convenient Ni-L/Ni-U remote control pad.
CFI Plan Apochromat Lambda D series
The high-refractive index glass used in the oil-immersion objectives provides uniform brightness and high image quality up to the periphery of a large 25mm diagonal field of view, enabling efficient acquisition of seamless stitched images and supports macro imaging of large samples. High transmittance and chromatic aberration correction over a wide wavelength range from 405 nm to 850 nm enable reliable quantitative data acquisition for intensity analysis of nuclear staining. These high NA lenses are ideal for brightfield and DIC observations, as well as fluorescence and confocal observations.
Water dipping objective lenses
CFI Apochromat NIR 40X W/60X W objectives with long working distances and high NA provide high transmission over the near-IR wavelength range. Axial chromatic aberration is corrected up to the near-IR range, enabling high-resolution images of minute structures of thick samples during IR-DIC observations.
CFI75 Apochromat 25XC W and CFI Plan Achromat100XC W objectives featuring high NA (1.10) and long working distance (2.00 mm at 25XCW, 2.50 mm at 100XCW) are corrected for chromatic aberration in the IR range. These objectives can capture crisp images of deep regions of thick samples by adopting a mechanism to compensate for changes in spherical aberration that occur at different temperatures and observation point depths.
Uniformly bright illumination
A built-in “fly-eye” lens ensures uniform and bright illumination of the field of view, from edge-to-edge, at any magnification.
Fluorescence noise elimination
Nikon's proprietary noise terminator mechanism is employed in the epi-fluorescence cube turret and filter cubes. The S/N ratio is dramatically improved by eliminating stray light in the filter cubes, allowing images with weak fluorescent signals to be captured with high contrast and brightness.
High color rendering LED light source
The high color rendering LED light source built-into the Ni-L provides natural color reproducibility comparable to a halogen light source, as well as light uniformity, long life, and other advantages associated with LEDs, making it effective for observation of pathological specimens.
Simple digital imaging
Images can be captured with Digital Sight cameras by simply pressing the image capture button located on the microscope base.
Remote controller
The simple remote control pad for Ni-L/Ni-U makes it easy to control the motorized accessories. An ergo-controller with similar operational feel to the actual microscope is also available for Ni-E, facilitating intuitive operation.

Compact lamphouse-free design
The Ni-L has a built-in LED light source for diascopic illumination, resulting in a space-saving design whose depth is approximately 150 mm shorter than that of the Ni-U, contributing to effective workspace utilization.
