The two buttons are easily identified by touch because of their different shapes. ③ Focusing knob (Ti2-E)Ī focus acceleration button and a PFS engagement button are provided adjacent to the focusing knobs. Mode functions, which enable instant changing of observation methods by storing the settings of each motorized device, can also be assigned to these buttons. Users can select from more than 100 functions, including control of motorized devices such as shutters and even signal output to external devices via the I/O port for triggered acquisition. ② Programmable Function button (Ti2-E/A)Ĭonveniently located Function buttons allow customization of the user interface. It is also possible to program these switches to operate a barrier filter wheel and the external phase contrast unit. For example, the shuttle switch for the fluorescence filter turret not only rotates the turret but also opens and closes the fluorescence shutter when the user presses the switch. Additional functionality can be incorporated into these shuttle switches so that a single switch can operate multiple related devices. These types of switches emulate the feel of manually rotating these devices, for intuitive control. Shuttle switches have been incorporated into the design to control devices such as the fluorescence filter turret and objective nosepiece.

It is also compatible with a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to infrared, meaning it can be used for multi-photon and optical tweezer applications.

PFS is compatible with a wide range of applications, from routine experiments involving plastic culture dishes to single-molecule imaging and multi-photon imaging. The PFS automatically and continuously maintains focus by means of a built-in linear encoder and high speed feedback mechanism, providing highly reliable images even during long-term, complex imaging tasks. Unique optical offset technology allows users to easily maintain focus at a desired position offset from the cover slip surface. The PFS maintains focus by detecting and tracking the position of the coverslip surface in real time. The Perfect Focus System (PFS) automatically corrects focus drift caused by temperature changes and mechanical vibrations, which can be caused by a variety of factors including the addition of reagents to the sample and multi-position imaging. Real time focus correction with the PFS: Simply perfect ĭownload ECLIPSE Ti2 Concept Brochure (11.09MB) In combination with Nikon's powerful acquisition and analysis software, NIS-Elements, the Ti2 is a total innovation in imaging. In addition, the status of each sensor is automatically recorded during acquisition, providing quality control for imaging experiments and enhancing data reproducibility. Furthermore, the Ti2's unique, intelligent functions guide users through imaging workflows by gathering data from internal sensors, eliminating the possibility of user errors. The Ti2's exceptionally stable, drift-free platform is designed to meet the demands of super-resolution imaging while its unique hardware-triggering capabilities enhance even the most challenging, high-speed imaging applications. With this incredible FOV, the Ti2 maximizes the sensor area of large-format CMOS cameras without making compromises, and significantly improves data throughput. The ECLIPSE Ti2 inverted microscope delivers an unparalleled 25mm field of view (FOV) that revolutionizes the way you see.
