Nikon P2-EFLM Epi-FL-Illuminator, motorized (65489)

The Nikon P2-EFLM Epi-FL-Illuminator, motorized version, is an advanced epi-fluorescence attachment designed for Nikon SMZ18 and SMZ25 stereo microscopes. This motorized unit enables automated, high-precision fluorescence imaging by allowing remote or software-based control of filter cube selection and illumination settings. It is ideal for research applications in cell biology, developmental biology, and materials science, where rapid switching between multiple fluorophores and consistent, high-contrast fluorescence imaging are required. The system integrates seamlessly with Nikon’s imaging software and supports a variety of fluorescence filter cubes, providing flexibility for complex experimental workflows.

Purpose and Features:

• Enables epi-fluorescence microscopy by directing excitation light through the objective lens for the detection of fluorescent signals

• Motorized turret allows up to four filter cubes to be mounted and automatically switched, supporting rapid multi-channel imaging

• Compatible with Nikon SMZ18 and SMZ25 stereo microscopes

• Fly-eye lens system ensures bright, uniform illumination across the entire field of view, even at low magnifications

• Supports a range of filter cubes, including GFP-B, GFP-L, RFP, and brightfield options with a λ/4 plate

• Can be operated via a dedicated control box or remotely using Nikon NIS-Elements imaging software, allowing for integration into automated imaging workflows

• Includes a light shading plate to reduce stray light and improve image contrast

• Designed for use with high-performance light sources such as the HG Precentered Fiber Illuminator Intensilight (C-HGFIE HG/C-HGFI HG, 130W)

Operation:

• Select and switch between filter cubes using the control box or imaging software

• Adjust light intensity and ND filters for optimal fluorescence imaging

• Close the shutter or block the light when not in use to prevent photobleaching and protect samples

Applications:
Automated fluorescence imaging of cells, tissues, and embryos
Multi-channel imaging for research in developmental biology, neuroscience, and materials science
Routine laboratory work and advanced research requiring sensitive, high-contrast fluorescence detection

The Nikon P2-EFLM motorized Epi-FL-Illuminator is an essential tool for researchers who need efficient, automated, and flexible fluorescence imaging capabilities on Nikon stereo microscope platforms.
