Universal Epi-illuminator: LV-UEPI
The LV-UEPI universal epi-illuminator enables brightfield, darkfield, simple
polarizing and DIC observations. Field and aperture diaphragms are
automatically opened when the observation is switched from brightfield to
darkfield, and return to their original position when switched back to
brightfield.
High-Intensity 12V-50W Halogen Light Source:
LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse
Although the LV-LH50PC Precentered Lamphouse is 12V-50W, the brightness is equivalent to or higher than that of 12V-100W.
The low power-consumption halogen light source contributes to the compact design of the microscope while also being friendly
to the environment. Defocus induced by heat from the illuminator is substantially reduced. The precentered and prefocus
lamphouse does not need to be adjusted or centered.
Universal Epi-Illuminator 2: LV-UEPI2
The LV-UEPI2 universal episcopic illuminator is equipped with advanced
optics suitable for a wide variety of observation methods—brightfield,
darkfield, DIC and epi-fluorescence. It allows the operator to concentrate on
observation by automatically maintaining optimal illumination conditions for
the aperture diaphragm, shutter, filters, including diffuser and ND filter.
The 4-filter turret optical path switching knob is positioned in the front for
easy switching among the observation methods. Like the LV-UEPI Epi-
Illuminator, brightfield/darkfield blocks are built-in. Two epi-fluorescence
filter blocks can be mounted to the LV-UEPI2.

Optimal Illumination Function
A light shielding shutter goes into the optical path when observation methods are being changed to prevent light from
directly affecting your eye.
