Nikon Eclipse TsR2 Inverted Biological Microscope

Nikon Eclipse TsR2 Inverted Biological Microscope

The Eclipse Ts2R sets a new standard for the inverted research microscope, providing a wide range of observation methods and applications in a compact body that can easily fit in limited laboratory spaces while maintaining excellent operability.

Simple to use

The control buttons on the Ts2R microscope are intuitively located for a streamlined workflow. The on/off and diascopic/epi-fluorescence switching controls are located on the front panel, so are easy to locate when using the microscope.

Ergonomic stage design for improved workflow

Loading samples is quick and easy to do, and the microscope's controls are all easy to reach.

Range of sample holders

The Eclipse TS2R can be supplied with a range of sample holders

Compact body

The compact size of the Ts2R microscope makes it easier to store and operate inside a laminar flow hood. Additionally, the low stage and side-port camera position reduce user fatigue from repetitive stage manipulation and provides clear visibility of the stage and sample even with the hood sash lowered.

Observation Methods

Phase Contrast

Phase contrast is an optical contrasting technique that typically uses a phase contrast objective and a condenser annulus. The use of the high intensity LED light source results in clear images even at high magnifications

Emboss Contrast- new contrasting technique

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.

Fluorescence

The Eclipse TsR2 can be supplied with a four channel fluorescence illuminator.

Apodized Phase Contrast (APC) Observation

APC observation is a type of phase contrast microscopy which minimises unwanted halos in thick specimens. The APC technique provides clearer details of thick samples such as dividing cells.

Differential Interference Contrast

DIC provides high resolution pseudo three dimensional images that have a shadow cast appearance. 

Nikon Advanced Modulation Contrast (NAMC)

THis provides high relief, DIC like images of samples on plastic dishes, which is not possible with DIC observation.
