High color reproducibility by the adoption of high color-rendering LEDs
Since the color of LED light is stable, color information and images can be achieved with high color reproducibility when imaging specimens using microscope digital cameras and NIS-Elements imaging software. This reduces the need to correct color by color management software and contributes to improved accuracy of image analysis and AI learning.

Significant reduction in environmental impact
LED light sources boast a lifespan of approximately 25 times greater*1 than that of halogen light sources, contributing to the reduction of waste materials associated with replacement. Their low power consumption also contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions within our environment. LED light sources also significantly reduce the maintenance load in terms of light source replacement and potential downtime.
*1 Approx. 50,000 hours, estimated by Nikon standards
Eliminates the need to utilize color balance filters
For microscopes using a halogen light source, color adjustments are made using NCB (Neutral Color Balance) filters to correct for the varied color temperatures normally experienced with this technology. Color balanced natural light LEDs eliminate the need to use these filters and therefore also eliminate the risk of human error, such as forgetting to attach or detach color correction filters during critical imaging sessions.
Space-saving compact design
Microscopes using a halogen light source are designed with externally attached lamp housings in order to facilitate regular light source replacement. The ECLIPSE Ni-L, due to longer life expectancy of LED light sources, has the illumination built-in resulting in an overall size reduction of 150 mm. This increases the flexibility to choose the most effective observation location to suit your needs.
