Nikon Eclipse LV100N Pole

The Nikon Eclipse LV100N Pol is the largest model among Nikon polarizing microscopes. It is a very robust and stable model and comes with a large, high-precision rotating stage with click-stops every 45°. A 5-hole objective turret with centering objective positions ensures that the specimen can be rotated precisely around its own axis.

The Nikon Eclipse LV100N Pol is the largest model among Nikon polarizing microscopes. It is a very robust and stable model and comes with a large, high-precision rotating stage with click-stops every 45°. A 5-hole objective turret with centering objective positions ensures that the specimen can be rotated precisely around its own axis.

The Nikon LV100 Pol offers advanced polarization microscopy with both diascopic (transmitted) and episcopic (incident) illumination. Choose from traditional halogen illumination or newly developed LED illumination with lower power consumption and more natural color reproduction. Either way, high-resolution and high-contrast images are obtained with CFI60 polarizing lenses. These are available both for transparent specimens with a 0.17 mm cover glass or for looking directly at a surface with reflected light.

In traditional transmitted light, light is passed through a lens that collimates – parallelizes – the light forward and upward towards the condenser and specimen. Our eyes perceive this as a smooth, even light across the surface, but a digital camera is much more sensitive and its sensor captures irregularities in the illumination that result in an image that may be brighter in the center than in the periphery.

To counteract this, Nikon uses a so-called “flye-eye” lens (facet lens) that spreads the light even more evenly across the field of view so that even the digital camera cannot perceive any unevenness in the lighting.
Focusing has been improved to a 30 mm focal length, making it easier to observe larger samples.

With a graduated polarizer for the transmitted illumination (also for the incident illumination if selected) and a rotatable analyzer under the eyepiece tube, it is easy to adjust both to see the desired shifts in the specimen. There is also space for various compensators if you want to make detailed deceleration measurements.

If you choose a trinocular eyepiece tube, you can connect a camera for quick image documentation.
