Universal Nosepiece
The LV100DA-U features a newly developed motorized nosepiece. In addition to brightfield and darkfield observation, the LV-NU5AI Universal Nosepiece enables a wide range of observation methods including episcopic and diascopic DIC. The LV-NCNT2 motorized nosepiece controller can be used in combination with the LV-NU5AI on the LV100D-U.
Universal Condenser Lens
Brightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple Pol and phase contrast observation are all possible. Simply select the condenser position for the method you wish to use.
・Darkfield: D-C Darkfield Ring
・Phase-contrast: D-C PHModule
・DIC: D-C DIC Module Dry
Supports a Wide Range of Samples
The standard maximum specimen height is 38mm (33mm when combined with the LV-NU5AI nosepiece). Combined with a column riser, it is 73mm (or 68mm with the nosepiece), and with a combination of the LV-DIA-U DIA Base U and LV-FM FM module, specimens with a height up to 102mm (or 97mm) can be accommodated.
* With diascopic illumination, the maximum specimen height depends on the focal length of the condenser used.
Accepts various stages
In addition to the LV-S32 3x2 Stage, users can select a wide variety of stages according to their needs, including the LV-S64 6x4 Stage for larger specimens, or the LV-SRP Fine Rotating Stage for polarized light microscopy.
Clear, aberration-free images are the standard.
The LV series utilizes Nikon's world renowned CFI60 & CFI LU60 infinity optics to provide world-class optical performance, with the highest levels of resolution, contrast, and transmission and longer working distances. Clear, aberration-free images are the standard.
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 12V-100W. The low powerconsumption halogen light source contributes to the compact design of the microscope while also being friendly to the environment. Defocus induced by heat is substantially reduced.
HG Precentered Fiber Illuminator—Intensilight (for LV-UEPI2/LV-UEPI2A)
The use of the Intensilight precentered fiber illuminator eliminates the need for centering and focus adjustment, even after the lamp is replaced. Because the light source can be placed away from the microscope, heat and electrical noise to the microscope body is reduced. Six levels of light intensity from 3% to 100% are available, including a built-in shutter. The lamp lasts an average of 2,000 hours, reducing replacement frequency and cost. Both manual (C-HGFI) and motorized (C-HGFIE) models are available. The C-HGFIE should be used in combination with the LV100DA-U. The motorized model can be controlled from an optional dedicated remote controller or a PC with Nikon , s NISElements imaging software installed. It can also be controlled directly from the microscope itself.
