Nikon Instruments commissioned a 4-part series of animations to introduce its new inverted research microscope, the Eclipse T12. The first part of the series provides an overview of the entire microscope system, and is a testament to the engineering built into the device.
NIKON – SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE

In addition to its imaging capabilities, the new Nikon Eclipse T12 microscope has built-in features that allow the user to directly view the internal alignment of certain microscope pieces.
NIKON – FOCUS, PERFECTED

Merging actual cellular fluorescent images and animation, we follow the light path through the underlying mechanisms of mirrors, lenses, and a servo motor that take real-time information from the sample being imaged and make immediate changes to maintain focus.
NIKON – EXPAND YOUR VIEW

A key part of the engineering that makes the Nikon Eclipse T12 a formidable microscope is the expanded field of view it offers. The second animation in a 4-part series on the new T12 microscope showcases this large field of view, helping the viewer appreciate how the field of double size is attained with a larger lens, and how that translates to a higher throughput of imaging.
