Main Features of Nikon Eclipse i-Series 80i
Optimal digital imaging optics
– Built-in “fly-eye” optics to ensure uniform illumination.
– Chromatic aberration in the newly developed Plan Apo VC objectives has been corrected even further to achieve flat, high-resolution images, right to the edge.
– A newly developed Digital Imaging Head integrates a binocular unit, fluorescence illuminator, dual port and zoom optics into one single unit, making it perfect for digital imaging and fluorescence microscopy.
•Automatic detection of microscopy status
– When the Nikon DS-5M-L1 digital camera is mounted on the digital-imaging head, imaging data such as the objective magnification and fluorescence filter selection are automatically detected and can be displayed on the monitor. These data can be saved with the image file when the image is captured with the camera.
Upgraded DIC performance
– Both optimum contrast and high resolution have been achieved at the best balance, while minimizing uneven color. Three types of DIC prisms—high-resolution, high-contrast, and standard—are available.
Enhanced fluorescence performance
– The fluorescence illuminator employs Nikon’s unique Noise Terminator mechanism. It directs stray light out of the objective light-collection path, minimizes noise and dramatically improves signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios.
– An optional Excitation Balancer can freely adjust excitation wavelengths. During observations or imaging of multi-stained specimens, the operator can easily emphasize the specific wavelength of the excitation light without changing the filter cubes. The excitation wavelength’s spectral intensity of the multi-band filter can be changed continuously by adjusting the sliding distance of the Excitation Balancer into the optical path. |

DU® 800 UV/Visible Spectrophotometer
The DU 800 Spectrophotometer is a PC controlled system intended for use in quantitative and qualitative analysis in biological and industrial procedures that require spectrophotometric measurements in the UV and visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It operates in the wavelength range of 190 to 1100 nm and has a bandwidth of <= 1.8 nm. The focused micro-beam design provides a wide linear range and other specific benefits for small volumes and precious samples. The control of the instrument, data handling, and data reduction capabilities are contained within the confines of the PC. The frame-oriented software provides a convenient and user-friendly interface and, therefore, ensures a quick learning curve. |
Standard Software
The following applications are avilable with the software installation.
-
Fixed Wavelength - Performs Absorbance or %Transmittance readings for up to 12 wavelengths simultaneously. A factor or custom formula may be applied to calculate final results.
-
Wavelength Scan - Performs wavelength scans in Absorbance or %Transmittance. Acquired scan data are stored and may be used for various manipulations and calculations. Includes the calculation mode to add, subtract, multiply and divide spectra.
-
Kinetics/Time - Simultaneously measures and analyses up to 12 rate reactions. Data can be reviewed in real time and automatically calculated and printed. The rate of the kinetic reaction is reported using a linear regression.
-
Nucleic Acid Analysis - Determines protein impurity in nucleic acid samples based upon the ratio of readings at two wavelengths with a choice of background correction. Protein and nucleic acid concentrations can also be calculated using the Warburg and Christian1 coefficients.
-
Single Component Analysis - Determines the concentration of unknowns by either linear or non-linear (quadratic) regression and provides statistical analysis for the standard curve. The standard curve can have up to 30 standards. The operator can re-run any standard, remove or add standards, and have the instrument re-calculate the curve.
-
Performance Validation - Provides a simple procedure to verify the performance of the instrument without standards or samples. Tests include: wavelength accuracy and repeatability, resolution, baseline flatness, noise, and stability.
In addition, the "rapid" modes RediRead™ and RediScan™ are available. These provide the user with a fast and easy way to take readings at fixed wavelengths or to make wavelength scans. |

COULTER® EPICS® XL-MCL™ Flow Cytometer
This unique system redefines the standards of flow-cytometric analysis. The flow cytometer combines the analytical power of a research cytometer into a compact, truly walk away, clinical analyzer ergonomically designed to expedite sample throughput.
|
The XL system features the capability to analyze up to 4 colors of immunofluorescence from a single air cooled laser. Other multi-color applications include: multiparametric DNA analysis, platelet studies, reticulocyte enumeration, cell biology/functional studies and as well as a broad range of research applications. The instrument is self contained and biohazard safe. The user retains the flexibility to change filter elements for versatility in research settings.
For high volume users, the XL-MCL system offers walk away sample handling for superior efficiency with the Multi Carousel Loader (MCL). Capable of throughputs of up to 100 samples per hour, the fully featured XL-MCL incorporates positive bar-code identification and true vortex mixing prior to aspiration.
The XL remains the only flow cytometer to offer state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for reliable linearity and drift-free amplification and compensation. The single laser design eliminates concerns regarding multi-beam stability, signal delay and alignment. Compensation is achieved by a unique digital compensation matrix. |
