Hi, They do indeed seem to be MOQ of 200 at all suppliers. Have you looked at an alternative high CRI LED? I am using these: http://store.yujiintl.com/collections/frontpage/products/bc-series-cob-400l In a modified Eclipse 50i light source. They have a CRI of 95, 3500 LM and a 3200K or 5600K variant...

Hi Pau, It has a static main objective at the bottom of the unit that is always in place. At the top, or eye-piece end there are two lenses that quickly switch over the main objective to achieve the 10X or 40X magnification. So there is no way to swap in a different set of objectives. The two knobs ...

Hi, I am selling a neat nose-piece/ objective combo for the Nikon Eclipse series. It is the Ergo-View cytodiagnostic unit and was originally designed to be retrofitted to the 50i or 55i microscope, to facilitate easier and more comfortable cytology examinations. However, I have found it very useful ...

Hi, Good information here on buying a binocular or trinoccular Microscope head on eBay. Are there any suggestions to know for sure that a head is compatible with infinity optics? It seems to me, that unless the seller specifically states the unit is compatible with Eclipse series, or a similar comme...

This is a new topic from an older discussion, so I apologize for the duplication: I'm considering a do it yourself DIC setup using the Nikon Eclipse series, as has been discussed here previously. I've noticed that the most difficult component to source is the "Universal C-CU Condenser" and associate...

Hi, I'm also considering a do it yourself DIC setup using the Nikon Eclipse series. I've noticed that the most difficult component to source is the "Universal C-CU Condenser" and associated discs. Would a Nikon Universa Con. A Achr-Apo 1.4 Condensor work? It has positions for 20, 40 and 100 DIC . Pi...

Hi, I am doing 4K video recording through the microscope, and I was wondering what the general opinion is for best choice of objective for video. I understand that if I invest in Plan Apo objectives, I will gain some resolution, but I will also lose some DOF in comparison to standard Plan objectives...

Sold Selling a Nikon E200 microscope with 3 objectives: All optics are in 100% perfect condition and condenser iris moves smoothly. Very smooth stage and condenser control. This is a Nikon CFI60 series microscope that can use many components from the other Eclipse series microscopes. Nikon 4X Plan i...

Hi,

Thanks for the data...very interesting.

AS a D800 owner, this is relevant to my setup with a X10 Nikon objective mounted on a Nikkor micro 200 lens.

Can I ask what your opinion is of the performance of, say, the Raynox vs the Nikkor 200mm f4 micro lens used as a tube lens?

Thanks again.....

Hi, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've discovered water as the condenser immersion liquid and I do get beautiful dark field now at 20X 0.40, so I can live without dark field at 100X. I hear that 100X DF is pretty challenging anyway at the best of time. The LED ideas are very interesting. I wi...

Hi, Thank you for the feedback. Nice condenser is saved from amateur hacking. But in the interests of using this condenser for actual dark field, I tried using water instead of oil as the immersion media to reduce the NA. The result was the best dark field I've achieved with 20X 0.40 and 40X 0.65 ob...

Hi Folks, I have a question about the practicality of modifying the numerical aperture of a dedicated oil dark field condenser. As a new member of this group, it seems a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I purchased a Nikon 1.2 -1.4 dedicated dark field oil condenser for intended use...

Hi , I've recently started micrography with a Nikon E200, and in no small part to some of the incredible photos you've posted. Dark field is of most interest to me from an aesthetic point of view, and I am really curious about your choice of condenser and objective for these photos. I was under the ...

Hi,

Still available?
