bright LED illumination and time-proven Nikon’s infinity corrected optics, designed especially for the ECLIPSE E100 microscope, use
state-of-the-art technology to produce outstanding performance. Nikon’s CFI* optics achieve
CFI optical system flat, sharp images that minimize distortion to the maximum. Colorless transparent specimens
can be observed with phase contrast observation. Featuring a simple and easy-to-use design
for beginners, strong rigidity to ensure high accuracy and a long life, and an easy-to-store
structure, the ECLIPSE E100 is the perfect choice for a variety of purposes, including
educational and routine laboratory research.

Anti-mold paint
Anti-mold design
Anti-mold paint and an anti-mold tablet are used in the Anti-mold tablet
objective lenses, eyepiece lenses and eyepiece tubes to
prevent mold forming in high-humidity environments.

Condenser with position guide markings
The condenser comes with an aperture diaphragm
with position guide markings for the 4x, 10x, 40x, 60x
and 100x objectives to make operations quick and
easy, ensuring perfect specimen images.
Binocular and trinocular eyepiece tubes available
The ECLIPSE E100 employs a Siedentopf-type eyepiece tube that
provides a constant and accurate eyepiece tube length. Both
binocular and trinocular eyepiece tubes are available. A digital Coaxial coarse/fine focus knob
camera can be attached to the trinocular eyepiece tube.*
*See “Eyepiece tube” on page 6. The coaxial coarse/fine focus knob is
comfortably located at desk-height level.
The focus knob and the stage handle are
ergonomically designed and are located
equidistant from the operator, meaning
they can both be easily adjusted from a
normal sitting position. In addition, the
torque of the coarse focus knob can be
adjusted. E100 Conventional models

The high-quality revolving nosepiece has a superior internal
detent click-stop mechanism. A knurled elastic covered grip

A cord hanger and storage case are available to make
transporting and storing the E100 easier.
Double-plate mechanical stage
The built-in stage has a double-plate mechanism with an XY
dual travel control. The large, flat stage surface facilitates easy
specimen handling. Because the height of the X-axis guide rail
is level with the stage surface and the stage surface is flat and
smooth, glass slides move easily over the surface. A spring-
loaded slide holder is included.
