Experience effortless, research-grade microscopy—discover how the AI-powered ECLIPSE Ji transforms your lab workflow with ready-to-use precision.

Today’s biological research requires imaging solutions that are fast, reliable, and intelligent—streamlining workflows without sacrificing quality. Nikon’s ECLIPSE Ji meets these demands as a research-grade, AI-integrated benchtop laboratory instrument, designed to simplify both image acquisition and analysis for modern scientific environments.

Effortless Imaging and Analysis with AI

Central to the ECLIPSE Ji is the NIS-Elements Smart Experiments module, a powerful software that lets researchers perform high-content imaging and advanced analysis with ease. Predefined assays eliminate tedious setup procedures, allowing users to immediately begin experiments. This results in rapid, reproducible data collection and analysis, reducing the time required at the microscope.

The ECLIPSE Ji offers a suite of robust, ready-to-use assays, enabling quick acquisition and analysis of large imaging datasets. Its AI-driven analytics further boost productivity, automatically detecting and quantifying cellular features, making high-Content experimentation accessible—even for those without specialized microscopy expertise.

Flexible, Future-Ready Design

The ECLIPSE Ji is Nikon’s first all-digital, research-grade inverted microscope, featuring a fully flexbile, and eyepiece-free operation. This not only makes it intuitive and user-friendly but also upholds Nikon’s renowned optical quality and large field of view.

A scientific-grade CMOS detector enables detailed digital imaging in a variety of conditions, including bright environments. The Ji is compatible with the full range of Nikon objectives and supports integration with additional cameras and confocal systems as research needs evolve, including Nikon’s high-speed AX R Confocal with optional NSPARC detector for advanced 3D confocal imaging and super-resolution capabilities.

Advanced Automation and Custom Workflows

With JOBS and GA3 modules, the ECLIPSE Ji offers a no-code environment for designing custom experiments and intelligent microscopy routines. Researchers can automate complex workflows without programming knowledge. Nikon’s 4th generation Perfect Focus System (PFS) ensures stability for long-term observation, while options for environmental chambers and fast focus drives support demanding live-cell imaging applications.

Transforming Laboratory Imaging

Nikon’s ECLIPSE Ji stands at the forefront of digital microscopy, combining AI automation, intuitive design, superior optics, and upgradability for futureproofing.

By reducing setup and analysis time, it allows researchers to focus on discovery.
