Nikon's Digital Eclipse C1 Microscope System Is Now Available in Latin America
October 14, 2002
MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 14, 2002 -- Nikon's C1 Digital Eclipse Modular Confocal Microscope System, a system that delivers three-dimensional confocal fluorescent images with optimal resolution and contrast, is now available in Latin America. This universal system is ultra-compact and lightweight, yet delivers top performance image quality. Users can now achieve a full array of confocal imaging techniques in multiple channels with the added bonus of Nikon's outstanding optical performance, all at a better price than competitors charge for a basic 2-laser - 2-detector system. Because this ideal confocal system is available for a reasonable price, it allows researchers who purchase basic systems to easily and affordably upgrade their instrument for the fullest performance.
The compact scanning head, one of the world's smallest and lightest, fits directly on a variety of microscopes. The detection and laser modules are pre-calibrated and easily installed, so there is no need for calibration during set-up.
The C1 system provides the largest number of laser types and detection channels in its class, expanding the capabilities of conventional confocal microscopy. Plus, this new system supports virtually any imaging technique required today, including simultaneous 3-channel confocal fluorescence, confocal fluorescence plus diascopic DIC, time lapse recording, and spatial analysis. In addition, advanced scanning capabilities are just a mouse click away.
The system also features intuitive software for multifaceted microscopic analysis and a graphical user interface (GUI) that makes Nikon's C1 confocal microscope system very easy to use.
To get the utmost results out of Nikon's CFI60 series objectives, new complementary scanning optics have been developed expressly for this confocal microscope system. Nikon's optical and electronics technologies have been fused to deliver resolution, contrast, and fluorescent image brightness that are all state of the art.
Other features include easily interchangeable filters to quickly match fluorescent dyes and probes, a series of lasers supporting almost every fluorescent dye used in research today, and a full selection of fluorchromes to support a wide range of fluorescence observation needs.
