Manufacturer Nikon (3) & Olympus (1)


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

Fluorescence Microscope: Olympus MX51 (Bay 6)

    • Calibrated measurement (calibrations locked)
  • Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
  • Filters: Green, ND
  • Bright/Dark Field
  • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
  • Top (Episcopic) & Bottom (Diascopic) Illumination
  • Three Fluorescence Filters (requires training, see main tool page for specs.)
