Nikon TE300 Inverted Fluorescence Microscope
Advent of the infinity-corrected CFI60 optical system spurred Nikon design engineers to upgrade their research-caliber inverted microscope from the Diaphot 300 to the Eclipse TE300 in 1997. The vastly improved instrument provides longer working distances that accommodate a wide variety of culture vessels and thick specimens, while maintaining high numerical apertures to ensure suitable levels of brightness, imaging contrast, resolution, and sharpness. The paired oculars of the instrument provide a standard 22-millimeter field of view, but like other microscopes in the Eclipse line, the Nikon TE300 is highly modular and provides several options for binocular and trinocular tubes, condensers, stages, and illumination systems. The standard condenser system fabricated for the Nikon TE300 microscope consists of a series of condenser top lenses and a five-position turret assembly with components for phase, differential interference, and Hoffman modulation contrast techniques. Also, Nikon designers patented a video enhancement contrast system for the microscope that features special polarizers and analyzers that enable the visualization of low contrast minutiae that would ordinarily go unnoticed by traditional video imaging methods.

Olympus BX61 Upright Wide Field Microscope
BX61 Upright Wide Field Microscope is specially designed to work with the Olympus laser based autofocus unit. With precise focus and active tracking, users can speed up routine inspections. Additional settings such as illumination level, lens selection and aperture setting can be set using push buttons on the microscope frame, a keypad or via the PC. A variety of motorized modules including nosepieces and illuminators are available to provide you with full flexibility in configuring your system. [Product Link]

Olympus FV1000 Confocal Microscope
Next generation imaging system designed for high resolution, confocal observation of both fixed and living cells.FV1000 offers advances in confocal system performance while providing the speed and sensitivity required for live cell imaging with minimal risk of damage to living specimens.In addition, the FV1000 offers a revolutionary synchronized laser scanning system called the SIM Scanner. While one laser stimulates, the second laser simultaneously provides high-resolution imaging. This coordination of laser stimulation and imaging makes the FV1000 an ideal choice for FRAP, FLIP and photoactivation. [Product Link]
