Nikon Ti-U Fluorescence Microscope Overview
(Final microscope capabilities will depend on the modifications you request)

The fully manual Nikon Ti-U inverted microscope offers extensive capabilities for observing samples in various biological and materials science contexts. With manual control over objectives, focus, and illumination, it provides adaptable and precise sample examination. Users can easily adjust magnification levels for detailed exploration, manipulate focus for accuracy, and customize illumination sources to enhance contrast and visibility. Its inverted design facilitates the examination of thick samples or live specimens in containers such as petri dishes or culture flasks. This microscope caters to researchers and scientists who require hands-on control and flexibility in their microscopy experiments, facilitating detailed observation and analysis across a wide range of disciplines. The addition of phase contrast on an inverted microscope allows for clear visualization and detailed examination of transparent or unstained specimens, offering enhanced contrast and revealing intricate cellular structures with remarkable clarity.

The microscope is suitable for the following applications as configured:
• Fluorescence microscopy: Ideal for fluorescent labeling and imaging of cells and tissues.
• Material science research: Suitable for examining material properties and structures.
• Biological research: Essential for cellular structure, function, and behavior studies.
• Pharmacological studies: Facilitates the investigation of drug effects on cells and tissues.
• Biotechnology applications: Enables genetic engineering and molecular biology research.
• Educational purposes: Serves as a teaching tool in universities and research institutes.

Other potential applications:
• Phase contrast and DIC: Enhances visibility of transparent specimens without staining.
• High-resolution imaging: Provides clear, detailed images for in-depth analysis of samples.
