Nikon Corporation (Nikon) has launched new ECLIPSE microscope models, the LV150NA LED, LV150N LED, and MA200 LED, to strengthen the company’s comprehensive range of industrial microscopy solutions. Following the LV100N series announced in March 2025, the new models use a high colour-rendering LED light source and improve maintainability.
The ECLIPSE LV150NA LED and LV150N LED are upright microscopes designed specifically for reflected illumination, with accessories selectable to suit your observation method and purpose. The MA200 LED is an inverted microscope with reflected illumination that is ideal for inspecting industrial parts and utilizing for research and development.
Key Features
Improved maintenance: The newly developed high colour-rendering LED light source upgrades brightness, colour, and colour rendering properties compared to the existing halogen source, extending lamp life from 1,100 to 50,000 hours. For the MA200 LED, space efficiency is improved by incorporating the LED light source into the microscope stand, reducing footprints by up to approximately 100 mm.
Enhanced usability: The microscopes offer high scalability through the compatibility of accessories between old and new products. Existing accessories can be used with the new microscopes providing extensive expandability with a wide range of accessories.

In addition, Nikon Corporation (Nikon) has introduced the new “Digital Sight 100” digital camera for microscopes in early December 2025. The Digital Sight 100 can be used in combination with full line-up of industrial microscopes and measuring microscopes. The digital camera offers high-definition, high-level color reproducibility, and an efficient workflow from viewing, recording, and sharing information, through the combination with Nikon’s NIS-Elements software. The Digital Sight 100 is expected to be used in a wide range of industries where users will be able to take high-quality images and smoothly share information.
Key Features
• High-definition / high-level color reproducibility / high frame rate
When combined with industrial microscopes (FN16), the Digital Sight 100 delivers 6.5-megapixel resolution (2944×2208 pixels), ensuring clear capture of fine structural details and rich color information. The camera alone delivers 17.7-megapixel resolution and supports wide-field imaging up to 4864 x 3648 pixels (FN25).
• Works on multiple device interfaces
As it is compatible with USB 3.2, HDMI, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, operators can flexibly operate and share information from the camera even to distant locations.
• Intuitive operability and software integration
Operators can reduce their workloads with easy operations by using the camera with Nikon’s NIS-Elements LE software, as well as the latest versions of NIS-Elements AR/BR/D (to be released in January 2026). The Digital Sight 100 provides excellent comfort and high-definition images for a wide range of observation methods. The combination with software makes viewing, recording, and sharing more efficient.
