| State-of-the-art Research Microscope Optimized for Observation and Analysis of in Vivo/in Vitro Nervous Activity |
| The Eclipse FN1 is a special purpose upright microscope developed to meet the rigorous demands of electrophysiological research. Never before has an electrophysiological microscope enabled visualization of minute details deep within a specimen with such clarity and contrast. The FN1 has a completely redesigned optical system that includes the world’s first water dipping objective with depth-induced aberration correction. The innovative new motorized Multi Patch System allows multipoint patch-clamp experiments to be conducted easily, greatly enhancing the efficiency of advanced research. |

| New Objective Lenses Allow Imaging of Deeper Areas with Ultimate Clarity
|
| The true one-lens solution: LWD 16x objective
|
| By using a variable magnification double port (optional), the 16x objective allows you to capture images from a low magnification wide field at 5.6x to a high magnification high resolution at 64x with the rear port CCD camera*1 with the same lens. A wide viewfield of up to 2.0mm can be achieved at 0.35x intermediate magnification, enabling the observation of whole specimens and easy electrode placement. Variable magnification double port varies magnification between three levels (0.35x/2x/4x or 0.35x/1x/4x*2).
|
*1 Magnification of the front port is not variable.
*2 0.35x/1x/4x type will be released soon.

| The world’s first water dipping objective with depth-induced aberration correction
|
| The Plan 100xW objective (NA 1.1, W.D. 2.5mm) isthe world’s first water dipping lens with a correction ring. This ring corrects spherical aberration induced by imaging deep in tissue or by working at physiological temperatures - providing outstanding Z-axis resolution in IR-DIC imaging, as well as a tight point spread function for confocal applications. With excellent IR transmission, this lens is a terrific choice for Multi-Photon imaging. |

|
| New objective series - ideal for IR-DIC imaging
|
| Axial chromatic aberration in the visible to near-infrared region (up to 850nm) has been corrected in CFI APO 40xW NIR and 60xW NIR objectives. This enables the user to observe/document minute structures of a thick specimen with ample resolution. In addition, transmittance of every objective is exceptionally high, even in the IR region, thanks to wide-range spectrum anti-reflection coatings.

 |
|
| Easy insertion of microelectrode
|
| The objectives boast a long W.D. of 2.5-3.5mm (2.5mm even at 60x or 100x), taking advantage of the 60mm parfocal distance of the CFI60 optics. Since there is ample space above the specimen, microelectrodes can be easily inserted. The diameters of the objectives are 17% slimmer than previous lenses, and provide broad approach angles up to 45º, facilitating dramatically enhanced access of microelectrodes to the specimen.
