Nikon Corporation (Kazuo Ushida, President, Tokyo) is pleased to announce the release of the new Inverted Routine Microscope ECLIPSE Ts2 which provides more accurate and efficient microscopy.
ECLIPSE Ts2 Inverted Routine Microscope is the successor of the ECLIPSE TS100 as an entry-level inverted microscope with improved functionality, enabling efficient microscopy while inheriting the highly reliable optical performance of ECLIPSE TS100. Emboss Contrast, Nikon's newly developed contrast observation method is easy to operate, making for more efficient cell observation, enhancing use for basic research in medical and biological fields.

This product will be presented at the 'BMB2015 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology' (December 1-4, at Kobe, Japan.) and the 'American Society for Cell Biology' (December 12-15, at San Diego, California, United States.)

Inverted microscopes have the objective lens facing upwards in order to view the sample from below. As such, they are widely used in laboratories for medical and biological research applications, allowing visualization within cell culture flasks and live cell chambers. It is widely used for observation and experiment of live samples such as cell culture. In various experimental processes of basic research, including cell biology and molecular biology, the inverted microscope is used to check and observe the confluence, health, and fluorescent protein expression of cultured cells accurately and efficiently. With these demands in mind, Nikon has developed the ECLIPSE Ts2 which features excellent optical performance and easier operation.
