Nikon incorporated its acclaimed CFI60 optical system into this small-sized inverted microscope. These optics provide flat, sharp, and brilliantly clear images, while achieving longer working distances and higher numerical apertures.
To improve observation under phase contrast microscopy, Nikon developed a series of Apodized Phase Contrast objectives, allowing minute details within a specimen to be observed with excellent contrast and wider tonal ranges.

The coaxial coarse/fine focus knob located in front of and close to the operator makes operation at high magnifications easier than ever before.

Efficient, user-friendly stage
The stage features a low-profile design that is 195mm high, making it the ideal size for a lab bench or safety hood. Even cell cultures on the bottom of a tall flask or testing chamber can be viewed, because there is 190mm of space above the stage when the condenser is removed.
Moreover, the acrylic stage ring makes it easy to confirm which objective is being used without removing the specimen from the stage.

Phase contrast microscopy has never been easier, thanks to Nikon's innovative Apodized Phase Contrast objectives
To improve images under this method, Nikon developed an innovative series of Apodized Phase Contrast objectives. These objectives produce images with excellent contrast and a much wider tonal range, shedding light on minute details within a specimen.

To accommodate image documentation, Nikon offers a trinocular model as well. The TS100-F comes with a photo port that accepts various photomicrographic systems.
