Bringing inverted microscopy
to new heights
Nikon has re-invented the function and re-defined the performance of research inverted microscopy with the introduction of the new TE2000, a microscope ahead of its time. Compatible for all advanced live cell applications, this advanced inverted research station was conceived to provide the highest level of optical imaging for today’s competitive research scenes.
The TE2000-U model is a universal model that comes standard with four output ports.
The TE2000-S model is a basic model that can be dedicated to specific tasks.
Multi-port design
The U model has four ports, including a right-side port, whereas the S type has two ports as standard. Depending on the research techniques you are using, you can easily integrate various pieces of imaging equipment in your desired combination and placement.
Optional stage risers create space for other
attachments.
Extendible optical configuration
Taking advantage of infinity optics, the TE2000’s extendible design allows the distance between the objective and tube lenses to be extended up to 80mm (max.). This feature enables the researcher to add optional attachments without modifying the microscope. For example, by using optional stage risers you can add a laser light source, without affecting the performance or stability for standard epi-fluorescence or DIC techniques.
Motorized-control adaptability
The TE2000 is designed to accept retrofitable motorized options in major sections of the microscope, which allows the researcher to choose the desired combinations via the dedicated communications hub controller to suit the required research method.

Unprecedented signal to noise ratio by eliminating stray light
Nikon’s proprietary Noise Terminator
mechanism The new Noise Terminator technology directs deviated stray light out of the objective light collection path. This results in images of high contrast and unparalleled S/N ratio during fluorescence observation using advanced techniques such as evanescence wave microscopy (TIRF) increasing the contrast and extending the detection level limit.
CFI60 optical system
The TE2000 adopts CFI60 infinity optics, known for crisp, clear images at any magnification, while providing higher N.A.’s and longer working distances.
Stability for greater precision
To achieve stability that supports greater precision, Nikon implemented CAE analysis and adopted a new high-strength alloy material. The use of the M-45 alloy in the microscope base doubled the rigidity compared with previous models. Moreover, Nikon produced a main body structure in which minor ambient temperature fluctuations do not adversely affect the image to be captured.
User-friendly ergonomic design
• Frequently used buttons and controls are all located at the front and within easy reach.
• The nosepiece is inclined to the left, making it easy to read the magnification and adjust the correction ring.
• The low-profile stage facilitates handling of specimens.
• The 25°-inclination eyepiece tube minimizes fatigue during long hours of observation, while its Y-shaped design permits easy viewing of the specimen area on the stage.
• An ergonomic tilting eyepiece tube* is optionally available. Furnished with a built-in Bertrand lens, the inclination angle is adjustable from 15° to 45° for viewing in a relaxed and comfortable posture.
