Nikon E100 Educational Upright Microscope System is an upright microscope with outstanding optical performance combined with elegant ergonomic design. The compact, lightweight and ergonomic Nikon Eclipse E 100 incorporates anti-mold technology in the objective lenses, eyepiece lenses and eyepiece tubes to protect the Eclipse E100 in high humidity environments. Both anti-mold paint and anti-mold tablets are employed offering a high level of protection. The Nikon Eclipse E100 incorporates Nikon 's exclusive CFI Infinity Optical System which excels at correcting both chromatic aberration and spherical aberration of the field of view, and features longer working distances and higher numerical apertures. A new series of BE Plan Achromatmat objectives have been designed especially for the Nikon Biological E100 Binocular Brightfield Transmitted Light Microscope with excellent optical corrections and very flat optical performance. The microscope eyepiece is inclined at 30 degrees allowing comfortable viewing in a very natural posture and the eyepiece height has a 34 millimeter adjustment range to fit every body type. In addition, the eye pieces have a wide diopter adjustment range and a field of view (FOV) of 18 millimeters.

The modular design allows the addition of a phase contrast accessory or a digital camera system. Simple phase contrast observation at 10X and 40X is possible with a single phase annulus slider. Another option incorporates a phase contrast slider for 100X and a darkfield stop for 10X, 20X or 40X. Both options automatically open the aperture diaphragm as the slider is positioned. This microscope accepts adapters for a variety of digital camera selections as well as a trinocular head. Other microscope accessories include a convenient cord hanger, a storage case, object marker and even a mirror unit for observation in situations when electrical power is unavailable or for use in field study situations.
