The Eclipse Ci-L plus biological microscope from Nikon has been ergonomically enhanced in order to improve long-term comfort.

Long-term microscope users know all too well the issues with back and neck strain, along with eye fatigue, associated with operating and observing specimens under a microscope every day. To reduce these common fatigue problems, Nikon has improved the design of the existing Eclipse Ci-L and released the Eclipse Ci-L plus with the intent of eliminating unnecessary operator movements while maintaining the high optical performance.

The light intensity management (LIM) function developed by Nikon automatically stores any changes to brightness settings. This helps avoid drastic changes in brightness when switching between different magnifications during observations, thereby helping to mitigate eye strain.

With the addition of a nosepiece spacer, the stage height can be lowered 20 mm from the standard position, reducing strain during frequent specimen change. The stage handle height can also be changed to enable a more comfortable hand position. The stage height can be locked using the refocusing knob, allowing quick refocusing after specimen changes.
