 Introducing a durable, user-friendly Inverted
Microscope with, superior image quality,
a small footprint, and great cost performance
The ECLIPSE MA100 is a compact inverted microscope specially designed to meet the needs of reflected light
Cost-effective microscopy, now simpler than ever observations requiring either brightfield or simple polarization illumination techniques. Its small foot-print,
durable construction, simple operation, and superior Nikon optics, make it an ideal bench-top solution for:
metallurgical samples, electronic components, failure analysis, materials science and quality control/quality
assurance applications.

Nikon developed the new MA-SR Rectangular Stage especially aperture and longer working distance. CFI60 LU optics deliver

is being used as well as the
position of the sample without
having to look beneath the
stage.

Polarizer/Analyzer
Simple polarization with a single-action polarizer/analyzer mechanism
The MA-P/A Pol Set makes reflected polarized light observation simple. It takes just a single
action to slide the polarizer and analyzer in the light path. The polarizer can rotate 360°
degrees, allowing users to set a polarization direction suited for the sample being observed.
Samples typically observed under polarized light include: plastics, thin-films, metals,
contaminants, chemicals, strain-tested materials, glasses and other materials etc.
