Description

Its Purpose:

The Nikon DIAPHOT is a series of inverted microscopes manufactured by Nikon, a renowned company known for its optical instruments. Inverted microscopes differ from traditional upright microscopes in that the light source and objectives are positioned above the stage, while the specimen is placed on a stage that is closer to the base of the microscope.

The DIAPHOT series was designed primarily for use in biological and medical research, particularly in the field of cell culture and live cell imaging. These microscopes offer several features and capabilities that make them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Acme’s Summary:

Overall, the Nikon DIAPHOT Inverted Microscope series offers researchers a powerful tool for studying live cells, tissue cultures, and other biological specimens. Its advanced optics, versatile illumination options, and ergonomic design make it a reliable choice for various applications in the field of life sciences research.
