Product news

The DS-Fi1c is the latest addition to Nikon’s renowned Digital Sight series of cameras. Featuring a high definition cooled colour camera head and the latest optical technology, the DS-Fi1c is ideal for both brightfield and fluorescence applications as well as sensitive samples. An optimal microscopic digital imaging system can be configured for any bioscience or industrial application, from documentation to advanced image processing and analysis.

The DS-Fi1c uses a Peltier cooling mechanism to cool the CCD to 20°C below the ambient temperature. When capturing fluorescence images where long exposures are required, thermal background noise is suppressed, enabling capture of high contrast images. With a high dynamic range, low noise and high frame rate, the DS-Fi1c offers high performance under short and longer exposure times, and is suitable for sensitive samples across a wide variety of applications including fluorescence, brightfield, phase contrast and differential interference contrast (DIC). The high definition 5.0-megapixel CCD produces better fluorescence images.

Offering all of the convenience and features of the DS series, the DS-Fi1c has a C-mount and is compatible with the Nikon DS-L2 and DS-U2 controllers via a USB 2.0 interface. In addition the DS-Fi1c can be controlled by NIS-Elements software.

Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Light MicroscopyLight microscopes or optical microscopes are used to visualize microscale objects under magnification, including cells, clinical specimens and materials. Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples. Find the best light microscopes in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Atomic Force Microscopy / Scanning Tunneling MicroscopyAtomic force microscopes (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) are high-resolution forms of scanning probe microscope (SPM) used to generate topological information of a sample down to the atomic scale. Instruments can generate an image of the surface topology, manipulate objects and reveal information on localized properties such as Young’s modulus, conductivity, and magnetism. High-quality STM and AFM probes optimized for your application are available, as well as other SPM-based instruments such as scanning ion conductance microscopes (SICM) & near-field scanning optical microscopes (NSOM).
