Halogen Illuminator

High-Intensity 12V-50W Halogen Light Source: LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse

Although the LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse is 12V-50W, the brightness is equivalent to or higher than that of 12V-100W. The low power-consumption halogen light source contributes to the compact design of the microscope while also being friendly to the environment. Defocus induced by heat is substantially reduced.

Fiber Illuminator

HG Precentered Fiber Illuminator—Intensilight (for LV-UEPI2/LV-UEPI2A)

The use of the Intensilight precentered fiber illuminator eliminates the need for centering and focus adjustment, even after the lamp is replaced. Because the light source can be placed away from the microscope, heat and electrical noise on the microscope body is reduced. Six levels of light intensity from 3% to 100% are available, and the shutter is incorporated. The lamp lasts an average of 2000 hours, reducing replacement time and costs. Both manual (C-HGFI) and motorized (C-HGFIE) models are available. The motorized model should be used in combination with the LV150A. The motorized model can be controlled from an optional dedicated remote controller or a PC that incorporates Nikon's NIS-Elements imaging software.

All the above illuminators are designed for the LV series.

Universal Illuminator

LV-UEPI-N

Universal Epi-Illuminator: LV-UEPI-N

The LV-UEPI-N universal epi-illuminator enables brightfield,darkfield, simple polarizing and DIC observations. Field and aperture diaphragms are automatically opened when the observation is switched from brightfield to darkfield, and return to their original position when switched back to brightfield.

• Brightfield
• Darkfield
• Simple polarizing
• DIC
• Double-beam interferometry

LV-UEPI2

Universal Epi-Illuminator 2: LV-UEPI2

The LV-UEPI2 universal episcopic illuminator is equipped with advanced optics suitable for a wide variety of observation methods—brightfield, darkfield, DIC and epifluorescence. It allows the operator to concentrate on the observation by automatically maintaining optimal illumination conditions for the aperture diaphragm, shutter, filters, including diffuser and ND filter.

• Brightfield
• Darkfield
• Simple polarizing
• Observation with first-order red compensator
• DIC
• Epi-fluorescence (UV excitation possible)
• UV polarizing epi-fluorescence
• Double-beam interferometry

LV-UEPI2A

Motorized Universal Epi-Illuminator 2: LV-UEPI2A

In this illuminator, the illumination changeover turret and the aperture diaphragm, as well as the illumination voltage control, have been motorized, for accurate reproduction of illumination—therefore, images can be taken under consistent illumination. Aperture is automatically optimized according to the objective and illumination technique in use. It can, however, also be changed manually depending on the sample and purpose.
When configured with the LV-ECON E controller, this illuminator can be controlled with the controller or from the connected PC.

• Brightfield
• Darkfield
• Simple polarizing
• Observation with first-order red compensator
• DIC
• Epi-fluorescence (UV excitation possible)
• UV polarizing epi-fluorescence
• Double-beam interferometry

LED Illuminator

LV-EPILED White LED Illuminator

With emphasis on light weight and compact design, this white LED illuminator was specially developed for brightfield use. It is operated via the attached power source controller. By using the LV-ECON E controller, external control is also possible.

All the above illuminators are designed for the LV series.
