Nikon

The lab currently has 3 Nikon Microscopes (Microscopes #2, #3 & #4). These are located in bays 6 and 7.

The scopes have 3rd party cameras that are connected to computers via Jenoptik ProgRes software which allows users to digitally capture images through the microscope and make calibrated measurements.

Microscope #2: Nikon Optiphot 200 (Bay 7)

Trinocular: Ocular Binoc. + Camera (Simultaneous)
ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
Filters: Green, ND
Bright/Dark Field
Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
- The DIC prism is installed on each objective and can't be removed, so even regular microscope images suffer from a slight double-image
Top Reflected Illumination (Episcopic)

Microscope #3: Nikon Eclipse L200 (Bay 6)

Manual for Nikon Eclipse L200D
Trinocular: Binoc. + Camera (Mutually Exclusive)
ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
Filters: Green, ND
Bright/Dark Field
Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
Top Reflected Illumination (Episcopic)

Microscope #4: Nikon Eclipse L200D (Bay 6)

Trinocular: Binoc. + Camera (Mutually Exclusive)
ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
Filters: Green, ND
Bright/Dark Field
Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
Top Reflected (Episcopic) & Bottom Transmission (Diascopic) Illumination

Olympus

Microscope #1: Olympus Optiphot-2 (Bay 3)

To be added
