Nikon
The lab currently has 3 Nikon Microscopes (Microscopes #2, #3 & #4). These are located in bays 6 and 7.
The scopes have 3rd party cameras that are connected to computers via Jenoptik ProgRes software which allows users to digitally capture images through the microscope and make calibrated measurements.
Microscope #2: Nikon Optiphot 200 (Bay 7)
- Trinocular: Ocular Binoc. + Camera (Simultaneous)
- ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
- Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
- Filters: Green, ND
- Bright/Dark Field
- Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
- The DIC prism is installed on each objective and can't be removed, so even regular microscope images suffer from a slight double-image
- Top Reflected Illumination (Episcopic)
Microscope #3: Nikon Eclipse L200 (Bay 6)
- Manual for Nikon Eclipse L200D
- Trinocular: Binoc. + Camera (Mutually Exclusive)
- ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
- Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
- Filters: Green, ND
- Bright/Dark Field
- Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
- Top Reflected Illumination (Episcopic)
Microscope #4: Nikon Eclipse L200D (Bay 6)
- Trinocular: Binoc. + Camera (Mutually Exclusive)
- ProgRes video/photo capture & user-editable calibrated measurement
- Objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x
- Filters: Green, ND
- Bright/Dark Field
- Differential Interference Contrast (DIC/Nomarski)
- Top Reflected (Episcopic) & Bottom Transmission (Diascopic) Illumination
Olympus
The lab has two general purpose Olympus microscopes, and two specialized microscopes that require training to use, although both of these can also be used for general imaging.
