Nikon Microphot Sa Manuals
Focus On Super-Resolution
Nikon South Africa
Nikon Microphot-SA research microscope provides optical sophistication, ease of operation, and a wide range of viewing techniques. This Microphot is configured with a pair of CFW 10x WF eyepieces, CFN plan 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x (oil immersion) objectives, 100 watt tungsten halogen transmitted illuminator, Nikon UFX-II 35mm camera system, auxiliary port for digital or CCTV camera, accepts all of.
For hundreds of years optical microscopy was relegated to the diffraction-limited regime, unable to resolve details smaller than approximately 200 nm (in XY) and 500 nm (in Z). That limit has been shattered, spawning a number of techniques and culminating in the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry being awarded to pioneers in super-resolution microscopy. We can now image with twice the resolution as previous with structured illumination microscopy (SIM), and about 10x greater resolution with Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM).
