A wide variety of observation methods is available with the Eclipse LV series. Observations with first-order
compensator, UV polarizing, and epi-fluorescence observations with UV excitation, in addition to brightfield,
darkfield, DIC, simple polarizing, epi-fluorescence (excitation using visible light) and double-beam
interferometry are all possible. Two new light sources also have been developed: high-intensity, low power-
consumption 12V-50W halogen light source and adjustable high-intensity mercury-fiber light source.

Universal epi-illuminator: LV-UEPI
The LV-UEPI universal epi-illuminator enables
brightfield, darkfield, simple polarizing and DIC
observations. Field and aperture diaphragms are
automatically opened when the observation is switched
from brightfield to darkfield, and return to their original
position when switched back to brightfield.
High-intensity 12V-50W halogen
light source:
LV-LH50PC Precentered
Lamphouse
Although the LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse
is 12V-50W, the brightness is equivalent to or
higher than that of 12-100W types. The low power-
consumption halogen light source contributes to
the compact design of the microscope while also
being friendly to the environment. Focus drift due
to heat from the illuminator is substantially
reduced.
Universal epi-illuminator 2: LV-UEPI2
The LV-UEPI2 universal episcopic illuminator is
equipped with advanced optics suited to a wide variety of
observation methods—brightfield, darkfield, DIC and epi-
fluorescence—and automatically sets optimal
illumination in accordance with the field and aperture
diaphragm, shutter, and filters, including diffuser and
ND. This design enables the operator to concentrate on
the observation.

CFI60 LU Plan Fluor EPI series
CFI60 LU Plan Fluor BD series
CFI60 L Plan EPI CR series of objective lenses
with correction ring
With correction at 0.7 mm (50x)
Without correction (50x)
Transmission wavelength coverage
extended to UV
CFI LU Plan Fluor series
The new CFI LU Plan Fluor series covers transmission
wavelength ranges up to UV. These objective lenses are suitable
for various research, analysis and examination needs, while
maintaining Nikon’s commitment to high NA and long working
distance. Only one kind of objective lens is needed for
brightfield, darkfield, simple polarizing, observation with first-
order compensator, DIC and UV epi-fluorescence observations.
These objective lenses, which offer high resolution and easy-to-
use performance, can be combined not only with microscopes
but also with other equipment for even greater versatility.
Objective lenses with correction ring
CFI L Plan EPI CR series
The CFI60 series now includes the CFI L Plan EPI CR series to
cope with the thinner coverglass used in liquid crystal displays,
and highly integrated, and dense devices. Coverglass correction
can be continuously made from 0 mm up to 1.2 mm (0-0.7 mm
and 0.6-1.3 mm for 100x) with the correction ring. The 100x
objective lens offers 0.85 high NA, while enabling high-contrast
imaging of cells and patterns without being affected by the
coverglass.
Environmentally friendly
The eco glass used in the CFI LU Plan Fluor and L Plan EPI CR
series does not contain harmful substances such as lead and
arsenic.
