Inverted Routine Microscope
ECLIPSE Ts2
Do more than before
Fits in Every Laboratory — Simple to Use & Compact
Utilizing Nikon's industry-leading CFI60 optical system and LED illumination for both Diascopic and Epi-fluorescence imaging, the new ECLIPSE TS2 microscope offers brilliantly clear images, enabling more efficient cell culture observation and documentation. Furthermore, newly developed contrast observation method and improved operability enhance its use for routine laboratory work.
LED light sources and built-in Diascopic/Epi-fluorescence illumination systems reduce setup time and allow users to concentrate on their research.
LED light source is alignmentfree, resulting in faster setup and consistent results. LEDs also eliminate frequent bulb replacements, saving the user time and money. Moreover, the new Contrast Shield (optional) provides high signal-to-noise fluorescence observation even in brightly lit culture rooms.
Control buttons on the Ts2 microscope are intuitively located for a streamlined workflow. Commonly used controls such as the on/off and Diascopic/Epi-fluorescence switching buttons are located at the front panel for easy reach. Buttons pertaining to either Diascopic or Epi-fluorescence control are zoned to the left and right sides of the microscope body, respectively, to eliminate confusion and improve workflow efficiency.
Emboss Contrast is a cost-effective optical technique which does not require costly optics. Utilizing just a bright-field objective lens and two contrast sliders, Emboss Contrast provides pseudo-three dimensional and glare-free images for thick specimens such as iPS cells which would normally suffer from halos with conventional phase contrast methods. Additionally, Emboss Contrast is compatible with both glass and plastic culture chambers, making it a very versatile observation technique.
Two models are available to meet your needs; a Diascopic illumination model, the ECLIPSE Ts2, and an Epi-fluorescence illumination model, the ECLIPSE Ts2-FL. High-intensity LED sources are employed for both Diascopic and Epi-fluorescence illumination. The built-in fly-eye-lens ensures uniform brightness across the entire field of view.
The camera port is located on the side of the microscope to provide unimpeded viewing of the stage even when placed inside a culture hood.
