Sharpening the Nuances of Microscopic Observation to Stir Up More Accuracy

Nikon Instruments Inc has officially announced the introduction of a SI-PH Phase Condenser, which is designed to supplement the company’s ECLIPSE Si biological microscope. You see, up until now, the ECLIPSE Si microscope would require multiple sliders for the transition from brightfield observation to phase contrast observation and magnification switching. However, with the new SI-PH Phase Condenser, the function of two separate sliders have been combined in one turret, thus enabling a smooth transition from brightfield observation to phase contrast observation, and switching of objectives from low to high magnification. Markedly enough, this it facilitates without calling for you to replace or remove sliders. Such a feature should especially empower all those fields where it is necessary to observe large numbers of samples, such as high-volume observations in research and educational fields. Next up, we must get into the improvements made around examination and research efficiency, improvements that are largely realized through a particular observation method which does not require extra tools. To put things into context, traditional biological microscopes have long mandated the use of special tools when adjusting the components required for phase contrast observation. In response to that, SI-PH Phase Condenser seamlessly enables centering of the ring aperture, which is critical for phase contrast observation and can also be completed using the built-in adjustment mechanism. More on the new condenser would reveal how it can leverage its smooth magnification switching and easy ring aperture adjustment to simplify operating procedure and improve the observation accuracy of the ECLIPSE Si.

“The new SI-PH Phase Condenser was developed and designed to help with reducing the workload incurred in microscopic observations performed mainly by laboratory technicians, and people in research and educational settings, so that samples can be observed quickly,” said Tatsuya Yamaguchi, Executive Officer at Nikon. “Thus, we expect that utilizing this product will lead to improvements in the accuracy and speed of microscopic observations during observations of biological cells and examinations. Moreover, this product can be applied to a wide range of tests, such as plaque tests in dentistry, fungus tests in dermatology, and more.”

Joining the whole value proposition would be an online guide, which users can access through Nikon Instruments’ official website to basically unlock a summary of operating procedures. Beyond that, users can also easily confirm various microscope operations with the help of movies and still images.

“We intend to continue providing solutions that are useful in research and educational settings, while continuing to listen to the voices of our users and reflecting them in our product development,” said Yamaguchi. “We will contribute to improving the quality of life in society through innovation while constantly maintaining our attentiveness and an attitude of pursuing a corporate culture that satisfies our users.”
