Nikon Eclipse E800 Upright Fluorescence Microscope with CFI60 Optical System and Digital Imaging

The Nikon Eclipse E800 is a modular upright fluorescence microscope designed for advanced fluorescence imaging and versatile microscopy techniques, widely used in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cellular biology research. It features Nikon’s proprietary CFI60 optical system with a 200mm tube lens focal length, ensuring aberration-free images without color fringing or edge distortion, critical for precise fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Trinocular head for simultaneous viewing and digital image capture
• Nikon CFIUW 10x/25M eyepieces for high-resolution observation
• Universal condenser turret supporting darkfield, DIC, phase contrast, and brightfield microscopy without condenser changes
• Illumination system comprising a 100W tungsten-halide diascopic lamp and a 100W mercury arc lamp for bright, consistent excitation in episcopic fluorescence modes
• Equipped with an AmScope MU-500-HS 5.0MP digital camera, connected via USB to a Windows 10 laptop running capture software featuring image stitching, extended depth of focus (EDF), and measurement tools — essential for quantitative fluorescence imaging and documentation in bioprocessing and synthetic biology applications

Included optical components:

• Nikon Plan Fluor 10x/0.30 Ph1 DL objective (WD 15.2 mm)
• Nikon Plan Apo 100x/1.40 Oil DIC high numerical aperture objective (WD 0.13 mm)
• Fluorescence filters ND4, ND8, ND16 and corresponding FITC-HYQ, Texas Red cubes for multi-wavelength fluorescence modalities

The Eclipse E800 is a staple in biomedical engineering and molecular biology laboratories, supporting critical applications such as gene editing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines by delivering superior image quality and flexible contrast methods. Its robust build and precise optics facilitate rigorous imaging needs in clinical diagnostics and fluorescence analysis.

This microscope system offers a compact footprint (26x17x26 inches), weighing 75 lbs, with a stable 120V, 9A power supply configuration. The package includes all accessories for immediate deployment and is backed by a standard warranty.

Overall, the Nikon Eclipse E800 is optimized for researchers seeking reliable performance in advanced fluorescence microscopy, particularly for applications requiring high-resolution, multi-contrast imaging combined with digital capture capabilities.
