Nikon Eclipse LV100D Upright Industrial Microscope

An episcopic/diascopic illumination microscope ideal for materials inspection and measuring.

ECLIPSE LV Series microscopes provide superb performance when inspecting semiconductors, flat panel displays, packages, electronics substrates, materials, medical devices, and a variety of other samples. The modularity of the LV100D permits observations using illumination by either transmitted or transmitted and reflected light, plus the ability to design the microscope to suit individual application requirements by offering choices in stage sizes, epi-illumination systems, optical performance,  binocular/trinocular/tilting trinocular eyepiece tubes, motorized or non-motorized nosepieces and five different types of diascopic illumination condensers.

Modular Design
The modularity of this microscope permits observations using illumination by either transmitted or transmitted and reflected light, plus the ability to design the microscope to suit individual application requirements by offering choices in stage sizes, (optional) epi-illumination systems including BF/DF and fluorescence, optical performance including improved UV transmission and cover glass correction, binocular/trinocular/tilting trinocular eyepiece tubes, motorized or non-motorized nosepieces and five different types of diascopic illumination condensers.

Extensive Range of Stages
A 3x2 stage or 6x4 stage comes with a glass insert making them both suitable for Diascopic (transmitted) or Episcopic (reflected) light illumination. The 3x2 stage can also accommodate an ESD plate or slide-glass holder.

Dia Base Unit for Diascopic Illumination
The LV DIA Dia Base is available for diascopic illumination suitable for OEM applications.

Universal Epi-Illuminators for Reflected Light
Choice of brightfield, darkfield, simple polarizing and DIC illumination or complex illumination techniques requiring epi-fluorescence UV excitation or UV polarizing is available. Illumination is achieved via a precentered 12V/50W lamphouse with output brightness equal to or higher than its predecessor 2V/100W lamphouse.

CFI LU Plan Fluor and Plan Fluor BD Series Optics
In addition to the longer working distance and higher numeric apertures common to Nikon’s CFI60 optics, the transmission rate in the UV wavelength range has been improved in the new CFI LU Plan Fluor Series objectives. The CFI LU Plan Fluor BD Series objectives can be used for brightfield/darkfield applications.

CFI L Plan EPI CR Series Optics
In addition to the longer working distance and higher numeric apertures common to Nikon’s CFI60 optics, cover glass corrections can be made from 0mm up to 1.2mm with the 20x or 50x objectives and from 0mm up to 0.7mm or 0.6mm up to 1.3mm with the 100x objective.

Tilting Trinocular Eyepiece Tube
The Tilting Trinocular Eyepiece Tube (erect image) offers comfort to all users regardless of their stature or viewing position and has an optical path changeover of 100:0/20:80 for simultaneous use with a monitor or Digital Camera System. Both a non-tilting trinocular and binocular eyepiece tube are available.

Manual or Motorized Nosepieces
Manual nosepieces are available for Universal, Brightfield or Brightfield/Darkfield applications or for motorization requirements, an improved motorized universal quintuple nosepiece with separate controller are available.

Diascopic Illumination Condensers
Fixed and adjustable magnification condensers are available including those for long working distances plus Abbe and Darkfield (dry) diascopic illumination techniques.

Column Riser
For thicker samples, 35mm column riser can be added to the microscopes main body providing a total sample height clearance of 82mm.

ESD (Electro Static Design)
All parts of the microscope that might be touched, including the body, tube and stage, have been insulated to improve anti-contamination and reduce the effects of electrostatic discharge from harming your samples.
