Nikon's Eclipse polarizing microscopes are renowned for their abilitiy to produce brighter, clearer, and higher contrast images. The LV100N POL, available in diascopic and episcopic microscope illumination types, continues this tradition and offers a completely reengineered base for even easier operation. The newly developed high-intensity 50W halogen light source is brighter than a conventional 100W halogen lamp. Low power consumption means less heat generation, thereby reducing the chance of heat-induced focus drift.
