Nikon Eclipse TE2000-U Inverted Fluorescence Microscope with Multi-Modal Imaging and Motorized Options

The Nikon Eclipse TE2000-U is a versatile inverted fluorescence microscope engineered for advanced live-cell imaging, molecular diagnostics, and biotechnology applications such as gene editing and bioprocessing. Featuring Nikon’s proprietary CFI60 Infinity Optical System, it delivers high-resolution imaging with minimal visual artifacts, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio critical for fluorescence analysis and cellular research.

• Microscopy Techniques: Brightfield and fluorescence imaging standard; supports extension to phase contrast, DIC (Differential Interference Contrast), and polarization microscopy through add-on components.
• Optical Configuration:
• 6-position mechanical filter cube turret accommodates up to three new high-quality fluorescence filter sets (e.g., DAPI, FITC, Texas Red, Cy3, Cy5) to match various fluorochromes used in molecular biology and biopharma workflows.
• Fluorescence illumination via Nikon 100W full spectrum HBO lamp and power supply ensures stable excitation critical for quantitative fluorescence assays.
• Mechanical Features:
• Robust inverted base with 2 camera ports and binocular head with two eyepieces enhances imaging flexibility for simultaneous observation and digital capture.
• Mechanical 6-position objectives turret loaded with CFI Plan Fluor and Plan Apo VC objectives (4x/0.13, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.75) supports high numerical aperture for superior contrast and resolution.
• Nikon's mechanical condenser and XY stage provide precision sample positioning essential for reproducibility in biotechnological research.
• Imaging Capabilities:
• Integrated Bestscope 8.3MP color CMOS camera with C-mount adapter for high-quality digital acquisition of still images and live video.
• Bundled with Dell laptop running Windows 10, ImageJ analysis software, and dedicated camera software facilitating detailed image processing, annotation, measurement, and data export for downstream analysis.
• Customization & Upgrades:
• Flexible configurations include motorized XY stages with joystick control for automated multi-slide or microplate scanning—critical in high-throughput biomanufacturing and synthetic biology research.
• Optional upgrade to advanced fluorescence light sources (Xenon, Metal Halide, LED) and high-end CCD, sCMOS, or EMCCD cameras for improved sensitivity and dynamic range.
• Add-on phase contrast, polarization, or DIC modules for enhanced contrast of transparent specimens without staining.
• Build and Ergonomics:
• High-strength alloy base designed to withstand ambient temperature fluctuations, supporting stable long-term time-lapse experiments in molecular diagnostics and cellular behavior studies.
• Ergonomic inclined eyepieces and strategically placed controls reduce user fatigue during extended operation sessions.
• Applications:
• Widely adopted in cell imaging, gene editing validation, biomedical engineering, and pharmacological studies.
• Essential tool for molecular cloning workflows, fluorescent labeling in tissue studies, and clinical diagnostics.
• Warranty and Support:
• Supplied with a standard warranty (USA 180 days, International 60 days), extendable to 1 year. Includes preventive maintenance and technical service to ensure operational reliability.
• Comprehensive remote training on microscope and software operation available to facilitate smooth adoption in biotechnology and academic laboratories.
