. . . in harmony with your needs
Pathology tests
As the 55i model uses white LED illumination, it can maintain the
same color temperature even if the brightness is changed.
Observations extending to many hours can be carried out in a
natural posture, without physical strain because an ergonomic tube
enables the flexible adjustment of the eye point.
Epi-fluorescence microscopy
A new dedicated turret-type epi-fluorescence illuminator has a
quick-change mechanism combined with a unique filter-lock system
and front-mounted shutter, providing the ultimate in clinical
fluorescence diagnostic microscopy.
Simple polarizing/sensitive color-polarizing
microscopy (50i)
Simple polarizing microscopy can be performed easily using
dedicated accessories. Sensitive color-polarizing microscopy enables
uric acid crystals forming inside an organism to be identified by
changing the interference color via a lever. Such microscopy is ideal
for gout tests.
Cytodiagnosis tests
The new Ergo-View cytodiagnosis unit makes magnification switching
and marking faster and easier. When it is combined with the 55i
model, changes in the amount of LED light are aligned with
magnification changes, enabling observation at a constant brightness.
Phase contrast microscopy (50i)
Developed expressly for this technique, our unique Apodized Phase
Contrast objectives enable the detection of minute structures—
previously difficult to detect due to annoying halos—with excellent
contrast and a much wider tonal range. This is ideal for urinary
sediment tests.
Darkfield (50i)
Darkfield microscopy is ideal for observing specimens such as
blood and the minute structures of flagella. A dry- or oil-type
darkfield condenser can be selected.
Epi-fluorescence attachment
This dedicated turret-type epi-illuminator
can accommodate four filter cubes despite
its compact size. Filters or mirrors in the
filter cubes can be easily replaced to create
the desired combination. The attachment’s
glowing display tags make it easy to
recognize filter names in a darkened room.
New accessories complement a rich variety of existing accessories.
Eyepiece tubes
In addition to the ergonomic tube, which
features a viewing angle of 10°–30° and
eyepieces that can be extended up to
40mm, the following Eclipse series tubes are
also available.
Trinocular
tube F
Ergonomic tube
Trinocular
tube T
Binocular
tube
Eye-level riser
The eye-level riser can raise the eye-point
height by 25mm at one time (up to 100mm*
maximum).
*: The number of risers
that can be used at any
one time depends on the
tube or intermediate
modules being used.
Teaching head (50i)
These teaching heads, which come with a
built-in pointer, facilitate simultaneous
viewing of the same specimen by up to 5
persons without compromising image
brightness.
Double port
Mounted between the main
body and eyepiece tube, the
double port enables
operators to use two CCTV
camera systems
simultaneously or one
CCTV camera and one
digital camera.
Magnification module
The magnification module allows the
intermediate magnification to be changed to
1X, 1.25X, 1.5X or 2X, enabling the
operator to frame the image to be captured
with a digital camera to match the view field
seen through the eyepieces.
Drawing tube
The observation image and drawing can be
seen together through the eyepieces. When
necessary, 100% of the light can be sent to
the observation port.
DS-5M-L1 Digital Sight digital
camera system
5-megapixel, high-definition images can be
easily captured without connection to a PC
or external monitor. The camera controller
includes a built-in, 6.3-inch LCD monitor
with extremely high resolution, enabling the
operator to focus the image on the
monitor. The “Scene Function” allows the
optimum camera setting for each
observation method to be selected from the
menu.
FX-III series
photomicrographic equipment
The FX series features a direct-projection
system with swing-out prism to ensure fast
exposures and accurate metering.
U-III: 0.1% and 1% spot exposure and 35%
integrated-average measurement modes
H-III: 1% spot and 35% integrated-average
measurement modes
P-III: Manual exposure model
DSC port
The optional DSC port allows a C-mount
digital camera to
be mounted to the
ergonomic tube.
Lithium-ion battery (55i)
The optional lithium-ion battery increases
the mobility of the 55i by freeing it of
dependence on an electrical outlet.
Ergo-View cytodiagnosis unit
The Ergo-View, a compact cytodiagnosis
unit, can be easily retrofitted to the
microscope. Utilizing a motorized control, it
enables easy switching between 10X and
40X magnifications at the flip of a switch.
Marking operation is also easy, even while
viewing the specimen.
Simple polarizing set and
sensitive color polarizing unit
(50i)
These easily installed options enable
operators to carry out simple
polarizing/sensitive color polarizing
observations.
