Eclipse Ni-L

The ECLIPSE Ni Series represents Nikon’s flagship line of upright research microscopes, engineered for both high optical performance and broad system flexibility. Utilizing Nikon’s CFI60 (and in some cases CFI75) infinity-corrected optics, these microscopes deliver sharp, high-contrast imaging across brightfield, DIC, phase contrast, polarization, and fluorescence modalities. Their modular “stratum” architecture supports simultaneous integration of multiple optical paths—such as dual fluorescence cube turrets—giving users the freedom to build custom systems tailored to their experimental workflows.

Depending on the model, you can choose between fully motorized control, compact design, and manual operation, making the Ni Series suitable for a wide spectrum of applications—from advanced mechanized confocal setups to routine pathology or teaching labs.

The Ni-L is the more compact, manual version of the Ni Series, featuring a built-in high color-rendering LED illumination system. Its space-saving design (about 150 mm shorter depth than lamphouse models) makes it ideal for laboratories where bench space is limited.

Despite its smaller footprint, the Ni-L remains versatile: it supports motorized accessories (such as motorized nosepiece and fluorescence cube turret), and its stratum structure still allows dual optical paths for advanced imaging.
