概述

The 80i was designed as a bridge between the clinical and research markets, making it an ideal tool for either discipline (depending on how it was configured). It could be used easily for clinical applications; however, with its new modular design, it could be expanded and configured for more sophisticated bioresearch techniques. This new system was designed to deliver optimum modularity and versatility while being designed entirely with digital imaging and techniques in mind. This microscope featured the DIH digital head, which was designed for Epi Fluorescence and had ports for dedicated digital cameras, confocal and spectral detectors.
