Description
Nikon Eclipse Ti2-U Inverted Microscope for ICSI
The Nikon Eclipse Ti2-U Inverted Microscope for ICSI is a state-of-the-art imaging system purpose-built for delicate micromanipulation procedures such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). With Nikon’s world-renowned CFI60 optical system, ergonomic design, and specialized ICSI-compatible features, this microscope delivers unmatched stability, clarity, and precision for assisted reproductive technologies.
🔬 Optimized for Micromanipulation & ICSI
ICSI demands absolute optical clarity, vibration-free operation, and precision positioning. The Ti2-U addresses all three:
- High NA Objectives with long working distances ensure crystal-clear views of oocytes and sperm.
- ICSI-ready stage with smooth travel and stability for holding pipettes and injection needles.
- Wide field of view and multiple output ports simplify micromanipulation and video documentation simultaneously.
Whether you’re observing spindle integrity or injecting a single sperm cell into an oocyte, the Ti2-U delivers the optical performance needed for confident ICSI work.
💡 Precision LED Illumination
Equipped with the Ti2-D-LHLED high-power LED Lamp House, this system provides consistent and heat-free transmitted illumination—critical for maintaining sample viability during sensitive ICSI procedures. The Ti2-D-PDI Illumination Pillar offers backward tilting and vertical movement (66 mm stroke), ensuring ergonomic access and accurate focusing under micromanipulation systems.
🔍 Clear, Flexible Viewing Options
- Manual intermediate magnification switching (1.0× / 1.5×)
- CFI 10X Eyepieces with 22 mm field number
- 4-position optical output port, allowing split light for real-time observation and digital recording (eyepiece 100%, right 100%, left 100%, or 80/20 split)
🧫 IVF & ICSI Stage Design
The TC-S-SR Stage is specifically engineered for IVF/ICSI use:
- Stroke range: ±57 mm (X), ±36.5 mm (Y)
- Extremely stable platform for precise manipulation
- Compatible with the Ti2-S-HL Long Handle for smooth stage control
- Supports micromanipulation devices and holding pipettes
🔄 Nosepiece & Condenser System
- Ti2-N-N Sextuple Nosepiece: 6 manual positions, waterproof structure, fast switching between objectives
- Ti-C NAMC Condenser (N.A. 0.4): Supports phase and NAMC contrast for oocyte visibility
- 7-position Condenser Turret: Accommodates various contrast modules including 10X, 20X, and 40X NAMC
Nikon Advanced Modulation Contrast (NAMC) observation
The Nikon Advanced Modulation Contrast (NAMC) technique enables high-contrast observation of colorless and transparent samples through plasticware. NAMC produces a pseudo-relief shading effect, ideal for ICSI.
🧪 Spindle & Contrast Imaging
- Spindle Observation System (Ti2-C-SO): Enables non-invasive observation of the meiotic spindle, helping to determine oocyte maturity before ICSI
- NAMC Polarizers and contrast modules provide high-contrast images of transparent structures without fluorescent dyes
🔭 High-Performance Objectives
The microscope is compatible with Nikon’s advanced CFI60 objectives designed for ICSI and IVF:
Objective Model | N.A. / W.D. |
---|---|
CFI Achromat 4X | 0.10 / 30.0 mm |
CFI Achromat NAMC 10X | 0.25 / 6.2 mm (PH-1) |
CFI Achromat LWD NAMC 20X | 0.40 / 3.1 mm (PH-1) |
CFI Achromat LWD NAMC 40X | 0.55 / 2.7–1.7 mm (PH-2) |

Note:
ICSI stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, and IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilization. They are related but not exactly the same:
🔹 IVF (In Vitro Fertilization):
-
A woman’s eggs are collected and mixed with sperm in a lab dish.
-
Fertilization happens naturally (one sperm penetrates one egg).
-
Once embryos develop, one or more are transferred into the uterus.
🔹 ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):
-
A form of IVF, but more advanced.
-
Instead of letting sperm and egg meet naturally, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg using a fine needle.
-
Used when there are sperm-related fertility problems (e.g., low count or poor motility).
