Eclipse FN1 Upright Electrophysiological Microscope

The Eclipse FN1 fixed stage microscope has been developed especially for electrophysiological research to facilitate patch-clamp experiments. The FN1 offers a slim body, streamlined structure, improved electrode placement, long working distance and greater noise reduction. A deeper area of the specimen can be observed clearly with infrared light.

Features:

• One lens covers from low to high magnifications
• The high NA, long working distance 16x objective allows observation at broad magnification range from 5.6x to 64x when combined with an optional variable magnification double port.
• Image deeper areas with ultimate clarity with IR-DIC
• The CFI Apochromat NIR 40X/60X W enables clear observation of the minute structure of thick specimens. The CFI Plan 100XC W is ideal for IR-DIC imaging, confocal applications and multiphoton imaging.
• Easy electrode placement
• Easy access of microelectrodes to the specimen – the objectives have a long W.D. of 2.5-3.5 mm and broad approach angle up to 45°.
• Safe, easy objective changeover
• Objectives mounted on the sliding nosepiece can be raised when switching magnifications preventing the objective from colliding with the manipulator or the chamber.

Easy operation

• The focus knob and field diaphragm ring are located on the front part of the microscope base. There are no cumbersome outside belts allowing easy operation using a fixed stage.
• Enhanced noise reduction
• Electrical noise and vibration noise have been successfully reduced.
• Responsive to a broad range of experimental needs
• The microscope height can be raised 10-30 mm, facilitating large specimen observation. In addition, the condenser, sub-stage and turret can be removed completely to allow for more free space.
