The Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2: combined with our LM microscope adapters, it also excels in photomicrography

Our LM microscope adapters enable the use of state-of-the-art DSLR and system cameras – a combination that delivers exceptional resolution, dynamic range and light sensitivity.

Nikon Eclipse Ts2 inverted microscope successor of Nikon Eclipse TS 100

Nikon’s new ECLIPSE Ts2/Ts2R routine inverted microscopes (the successors to Nikon’s Eclipse TS 100) are versatile instruments that are suitable for the entire spectrum of laboratory applications, including cell culture observation. An LED light source for fluorescence microscopy enables the observation of transparent samples with superior clarity and three-dimensional visualisation. In addition to the bright field, APC (Apodized Phase Contrast, a phase contrast technique with reduced halo effects) and phase contrast observation methods, the ECLIPSE Ts2 also features Nikon’s newly developed “Emboss Contrast” technique, which produces images approaching 3-D by using focal illumination, which adds high contrast to samples. This is particularly important for photomicrography. The ECLIPSE TS2-FL comes with an additional epi-fluorescence module that provides high-quality fluorescence observation even in brightly lit rooms.

An optional side camera port (TS2-P-CF Camera Port 100 with 38 mm internal diameter) is available and can be used with our LM digital adapters to connect any DSLR or system camera to the microscope. This offers an alternative to attaching the camera in place of an eyepiece.

The optical system used in these microscopes features Nikon’s acclaimed CFI-60 lenses, which offer the combined advantages of greater working distances and higher numerical aperture. The objectives included with the basic package (10x/22; 15x/16; 20x/12.5) are inserted into the quintuple nosepiece. The optional mechanical stage can accommodate a broad range of specimens.

The ECLIPSE Ts2 series microscopes were designed with the user’s comfort in mind. Their design is as streamlined as possible and they are very easy to clean. Despite their obvious complexity, Nikon’s ECLIPSE Ts2/Ts2R microscopes make a strong design statement – one that garnered the manufacturer the prestigious iF Design Gold Award 2016 for design excellence.

Fitting the microscope to digital single-lens reflex (DSLR), mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC ), digital single-lens mirrorless (DSLM) or C-mount cameras is easy with our LM digital SLR adapters, which feature a plan achromatic optical system. Our products make it possible to capture top-quality microscope images. To help you select the adapter that is right for your camera, we have set up an online configurator on our website. You can also email us – ideally with attached photographs of your microscope.

Modern DSLR and single-lens mirrorless (DSLM) offer the latest technology and are generally very well suited for microscopy applications. Most of them can be controlled remotely via PC/Mac. Because of their high sales volumes, they offer an excellent price/performance ratio compared to special-purpose microscope cameras.

Features of top DSLR and single-lens mirrorless cameras (DSLM):
- Large, powerful full-frame sensors (36 x 24 mm)
- Sensor resolution of 61 megapixels or 240 megapixels with Pixel Shift technology
- High light sensitivity (ISO 400,000+)
- Extensive dynamic range (up to 15 aperture stops/f-stops)
- Short exposure times (1/8000 second) up to 1/32,000 seconds using the digital shutter
- 4K Ultra HD  or 8K Ultra HD video function
- Live video capture on external monitors in ultra HD quality

In most cases, these cameras are significantly more powerful than microscope cameras with smaller sensors (1/2" or 2/3"). On our website you will find our current camera recommendations and a camera ranking which is specifically tailored to microscopy applications.
