Eclipse Si Up right Microscope: Focus in comfort. Comfort in focus.

Nikon has designed the ECLIPSE Si to meet the rigorous demands of professionals who spend hours using the microscope. The ECLIPSE Si is ergonomically designed to enhance operational efficiency. This powerful instrument helps you to stay focused for longer by reducing the strain on your body. The ECLIPSE Si is the new standard in microscopes, expanding the possibilities of exploring the micro world.

Key features

Pursuing efficient workflow

The ECLIPSE Si has been developed with the primary goal of reducing fatigue during microscope usage. The ECLIPSE Si eliminates unnecessary adjustments and enables efficient and comfortable operation. The ergonomic design also enables natural posture, even when carrying out repetitive tasks.

Maintaining comfortable brightness when switching magnifications

Objectives with different magnifications transmit light to varying degrees. Therefore, light intensity must be adjusted every time the user changes the objective. In addition, when switching from high to low magnification objectives, the sudden increase in brightness often causes eye strain. The ECLIPSE Si features the intelligent Light Intensity Management (LIM) which automatically remembers and sets the light intensity level for each objective. The LIM feature reduces up to 40% of the time spent on adjusting light intensities*. With the ECLIPSE Si, users can increase comfort and save time even when the routine requires frequent magnification changes. * Compared to the time required for adjusting the light intensity when switching among three different objective lenses. Test was carried out by Nikon, using a previous LED-based microscope model.

Low stage for effortless slide replacement

The height of ECLIPSE Si stage is 135 mm, which is about 50 mm lower than our conventional microscopes. The lower stage design reduces the range of motion required to exchange specimen slides, and in turn this can reduce arm and shoulder fatigue. Since the position of the stage movement knob is also lower, different areas on the specimen slide can be easily explored while resting your hands on the table. The lever for opening and closing the specimen holder has also been designed to be ergonomic with an easy-to-operate size and shape. Furthermore, the ECLIPSE Si features a 30% smaller stage compared to our conventional microscopes in order to optimise slide replacement.
