Nikon's New Digital Microscope Eliminates Eyepieces, Adds Ease-of-Use
Posted on: 06/26/
MELVILLE, N.Y. -- Nikon Instruments Inc., a world leader in precision optics manufacturing, today announced U.S. availability of Coolscope -- a microscope system that combines high-precision optics, multi-megapixel digital camera technology, and intuitive software in a single, easy-to-use unit.
Coolscope's unique design does away with traditional microscope eyepieces. Instead, all observations occur on a monitor or through a projector. After loading a glass slide preparation into the tray -- which is housed in Coolscope's CPU-like "tower" -- a user operates all controls, including observation, image capture, and network communications, with simple mouse clicks.
"Coolscope is far and away the easiest microscope ever built to set-up and operate," said Stan Schwartz, Nikon Instruments' division manager of microscopy product marketing. "As a result, users can focus completely on the specimen, and easily make necessary adjustments without interrupting their work."
Once loaded, micro and macro images of the specimen are simultaneously visible on a monitor or projection device, through the unit's five-megapixel digital camera. With the memory function, users can save up to 12 previous observation conditions and specimen positions, for instant image recall later on.
Coolscope's aperture and brightness are automatically adjusted, while stage movement, focusing, and magnification changeover are all digitally motorized. An LED illuminator provides bright, uniform, and cool light with a constant color temperature.
Perfect for any scientific application that uses stained specimen slides -- such as pathology, histology, anatomy, and drug discovery -- Coolscope comes completely network-ready, by way of standard TCP/IP protocol. This allows easy image storing on a server, and remote image viewing, all of which make Coolscope ideal for image collaboration, distance learning and use in presentations.
