ECLIPSE LV150N series
The ECLIPSE LV Series realizes an unprecedednted level of versatility based on the new concept module design. The ECLIPSE LV150N is a new industrial-use microscope that flexibly responds to observation needs in development, quality management and inspecting manufacturing processes.

The maximum sample height can be increased to 82mm from 47mm by inserting the LV-CR Columu Riser 35 between the main body and arm of the microscope. Use of non-Nikon stages, such as the Suruga Seiki B23-60CR, in combination with the LV-SUB Substage 2 allows the microscope to handle thicker samples of up to 116.5mm.

Observation with first-order red compensator, UV polarizing, and epi- fluorescence observation with UV excitation, in addition to brightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple polarizing, epi-fluorescence (excitation using visible light) and double-beam interferometry are all possible.

Although the LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse is 12V-50W, the brightness is equivalent to or higher than that of 12V-100W.

Modular Design
The maximum sample height can be increased to 82mm from47mm by inserting the LV-CR Column Riser 35 between the main body and arm of the microscope. This feature is useful for viewing the surfaces of precision molds, optical materials and other thick samples.
Accepts Thicker Samples
Major parts of the microscope main body—arm, stand, base,etc.—have been modularized for greater flexibility accordingto use. The LV-ARM Basic Arm, LV-FM FM Module, LV-FMAFM Module A, LV-EPI Epi Base, and LV-DIA Dia Base can be freely combined or incorporated into the system.
Non-Nikon Stages (LV150 or LV150A only)
Use of non-Nikon stages, such as the Suruga Seiki B23-60CR,in combination with the LV-SUB Substage 2 allows the microscope to handle thicker samples of up to 116.5 mm, thereby enabling the observation of fiber ends and other tools.
Extensive Range of Industrial Stages and Accessories
Users can select suitable models based on sample and stage stroke. All stages are highly durable with their triple-plate design.

Both a 3x2 stage and a 6x4 stage come with glass inserts making them both suitable for either Episcopic or Diascopic illumination techniques. The 3x2 stage can also accommodate an ESD plate or slide-glass holder. For larger sample sizes, a 6x6 stage is available. The 6x6 stage can also accommodate an ESD plate or Wafer Holder.
Improved Wafer-Sensing Functions
The modularity of the microscope provides the ability to design configurations suitable for individual application requirements by offering choices in the stage size (including Non-Nikon stages), epi-illumination systems including BF/DF and fluorescence, optical performance including improved UV transmission and cover glass correction, motorized or non-motorized nosepieces, and binocular, trinocular, or tilting trinocular eyepiece tubes.
ECLIPSE LV100ND series
The LV100ND is an episcopic/diascopic illumination metallurgical microscope that based on the CFI60 infinity optics. This microscope provides powerful support for your inspections in a broad applications such as semiconductors, magnetic heads LCDs.
The newly designed LV-S32 3x2 is a compact stage for industrial microscopes. Its triple-plate design ensures durability, stability and ease of use, even when heavy samples such as metallic materiasls are observed.

Observation with first-order red compensator, UV polarizing, and epi-fluorescence observation with UV excitation, in addition to brightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple polarizing, epi-fluorescence (excitation using visible light) and double-beam interferometry are all possible.

Although the LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse is 12V-50W, the brightness is equivalent to or higher than that of 12V-100W.

The eco glass used in the CFI LU Plan Fluor and L Plan EPI CR series does not contain harmful substances such as lead and arsenic.
No nosepiece changeover necessary
The LV100DA-U features a newly developed motorized nosepiece. In addition to brightfield and darkfield observation, the LV-NU5AI Universal Nosepiece enables a wide range of observation methods including episcopic and diascopic DIC. The LV-NCNT2 motorized nosepiece controller can be used in combination with the LV-NU5AI on the LV100D-U.
Brightfield, darkfield, DIC, simple Pol and phase contrast observation are all possible. Simply select the condenser position for the method you wish to use.
- Darkfield: D-C Darkfield Ring
- Phase-contrast: D-C PH Module
- DIC: D-C DIC Module Dry
Highly Rigid, Vibration-Free Body
The use of structural analysis during the design process has improved rigidity and anti-vibration parameters to yield clear images even at high magnification
Tilting Trinocular Eyepiece Tube
The newly developed LV-TT2 tilting trinocular eyepiece tube (erect image) offers comfort to all users, regardless of their stature or viewing positions. The optical path changeover of 100:0/20:80 allows simultaneous use of monitor.

C-mount adapter 0.55x can be directly mounted to LV-TT2 and LV-TI3 for the DS-2M series.
Improved Transmission Rate for UV Wavelength
The transmission rate in the UV wavelength range has been improved for the new CFI LU Plan Fluor series. These objective lenses are suitable for various research, analysis and examination needs, while maintaining Nikon’s commitment to high NA and long working distance. Only one kind of objective lens is needed for brightfield, darkfield, simple polarizing, observation with first-order red compensator, DIC and UV epifluorescence observations. These objective lenses, which offer high resolution and easy-to-use performance, can be combined not only with microscopes but also with other equipment for even greater versatility.
A motorized system that optimizes image capturing conditions - LV100DA
Among performance requirements demanded of a microscope, those associated with digital imaging— digital image capture, analysis, and database formation—are growing faster than ever before. The LV100DA motorized system squarely addresses these demands and now comes equipped with a mechanism that automatically optimizes observation technique and illumination—and these settings can be quantitatively controlled from external devices.other equipment for even greater versatility.
Auto Optimization of Illumination
In configuration with the LV-UEPI2A motorized universal illuminator, the system automatically sets optimum illumination conditions for the objective and observation technique in use, for quick recall ofobservation conditions.
Auto Optimization of Illumination
These modules are suitable for incorporation into systems.

The position for the mounting screw holes is selectable from the back or bottom.

The LV-IMA IM Module A (motorized) has a vertical stroke of 20mm, while the LV-IM IM Module (manual) has one of 30mm.

To ensure a good grip of hefty modules such as the LV-UEPI2A motorized universal illuminator, the rigidity of the modules has been greatly enhanced.

The LV-IMA IM Module A (motorized) can be externally controlled via the LV-ECON E controller.
LV-FMA FM Module A (motorized)/LV-FM FM Module (manual))
These modules are suitable for incorporation into microscopes. Mounting screw holes are located on the bottom of the units only.

The LV-FMA FM Module A (motorized) has a 20mm vertical stroke. When configured with the LV-EPI Epi Base or the LV-DIA Dia Base, it turns your microscope into a system with a motorized nosepiece up/down mechanism; the system can be externally controlled via the LV-ECON E Controller.

The combination of the LV-FM FM Module (manual; 30mm vertical stroke) and the LV-EPI Epi Base creates a system with a nosepiece up/down mechanism that has an ultra-long vertical stroke of 68mm—it facilitates operations such as semiconductor probe inspections
