Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Nikon Eclipse LV 100 ND is a flexible, modular, upright microscope. The Nikon Eclipse LV 100 ND supports episcopic and diascopic illumination. The Nikon Eclipse LV100ND POL/DS is discontinued and replaced by the ECLIPSE LV100N POL LED.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
The Nikon Eclipse LV100ND POL/DS uses a CFI60 infinity optical system. The Nikon Eclipse LV100ND POL/DS has a detachable analyzer, a Bertrand lens for focusing and centering, a 360-degree rotary analyzer dial, a reversed centering quintuple nosepiece, and a high-precision circular graduated stage.[4][6]
The Nikon Eclipse LV100ND POL/DS uses a 12 V 50 W halogen lamp in a precentered lamphouse with a rear mirror and built-in fly-eye lens. The Nikon Eclipse LV100ND POL/DS also provides detachable ND8 and NCB11 filters and a built-in transformer.[4][6]
