The ECLIPSE MA100 is a compact-size inverted microscope
specially designed for reflected illumination.
This instrument was developed for brightfield observation and simple polarizing observation.
Thanks to its compact, durable design, simple operation, and high-contrast observation and image capture,
it is excellent for metallographic and electronic components as well as use at product sites
in the materials field and quality control departments.

Aperture Diaphragm
Comes standard with a condenser
The epi illuminator comes standard with a condenser which
enables users to control image contrast and depth of field of
the sample.

Stage
Stable control even with heavy samples
A newly developed stage boasting
superior durability
Nikon developed the all-new MA-SR Rectangular Stage
especially for the MA100. The three-plate structure gives the
microscope stable control and superior durability and enables
observation of heavy samples, including embedded samples
,
that are still mounted on a grinder s holder.

CFI60

Mirror
Identify objective magnification at a glance
with an adjustable mirror.
The ECLIPSE MA100 ships complete with a mirror for checking
objective lenses, which makes observation much more efficient.
Now users can verify what objective lens is being used as well
as the observation position of the sample in a comfortable
position, without having
to look beneath the stage.

Sharp, clear images using CFI60 optics
,
Nikon s proprietary CFI60 optics provide high NA and a
longer working distance. CFI60 optics deliver bright,
high-resolution images. Up to five objective lenses can be
mounted.

Polarizer/Analyzer
2

Simple polarization observation with a single-action
polarizer/analyzer mechanism.
This device makes possible simple polarizing observation, which is effective for
samples such as polymer materials. It takes just a single action to engage the polarizer
and analyzer in the light path. The polarizer can rotate 360˚ degrees, allowing users
to set a polarization direction suited to the sample being observed.

Digital Sight Series
A flexible system that enables various configurations consisting of a camera head
and a control unit to suit the needs of each sample or application.
of newly developed image integration software
The NIS-Elements series is used for the control software. This software allows the user to perform everything from basic
image capture to the measurement, analysis, and management of captured images. Users can add a wide array of the plug-ins
to basic packages according to their intended use.
