In busy core facilities, setup errors can slow workflows. The ECLIPSE Ti2 Intelligent Assist Guide uses sensors and real-time data to guide users step-by-step. Check Mode verifies configuration and helps reduce troubleshooting. bit.ly/4ssIpkU #Microscopy

Much of the natural world exists beyond what we can see. On World Microscope Day we celebrate the tools that allow researchers to explore life at the cellular and molecular scale and investigate the hidden systems that shape biology. #Microscopy

Faster imaging without compromising sample health. NIS-Elements hardware triggering synchronises devices with microsecond precision via NIDAQ or the Ti2-E microscope stand, reducing phototoxicity while accelerating acquisition workflows. bit.ly/4unLTam #Microscopy

WATCH | Nikon helped shape inverted microscopy with the Model H (1970s) and Model M (1980s). Collector Uli Koch reflects on how these robust systems enabled researchers to observe living cell growth and capture early time-lapse imaging: bit.ly/4qLZiqJ #Microscopy

From installation to real research. The University of Sydney team has recently upgraded their Nikon Ti2-E microscope and is now integrating it into day-to-day workflows. If your lab is using an older Ti2-E, speak with your local Nikon representative about current upgrade opportunities. #Microscopy

The Nikon AX R offers the largest FOV of any commercial confocal system: a full 25 mm diagonal. More sample in a single scan. Less stitching. Higher throughput. From whole organs to organoids and cleared tissue, AX R captures the big picture without losing detail. www.nikon.com.au/healthcare

Q: What does an Applications Specialist do? A: More than teaching microscope use. They help researchers image what’s never been imaged before, design new workflows, and configure systems to push scientific limits. Behind every clear image is a team making discovery possible. #Microscopy

Unlocking subcellular detail in complex 3D tissue cultures is crucial for next-gen biologics research 🌟. The Nikon AX R confocal system with the NSPARC detector revealed striking physiological stem cell behaviour and significantly enhanced EV production. bit.ly/3OlYbPM 🔬

World Wildlife Day celebrates the plants and animals we recognise, but much of life exists at scales we can’t see. Microscopy reveals these hidden systems. This Nikon Small World image of algae (Synura uvella) highlights unseen biodiversity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0My... #Microscopy

The Nikon ECLIPSE Ti2 is a fully modular platform supporting TIRF, FRAP, Confocal (AX/AX R) and Super-Resolution (N-SIM S, N-STORM). With expandability for two optical layers + five illumination devices, it adapts as your lab’s needs grow: bit.ly/4pLHsDw

Investigating neurodegeneration requires high-resolution 3D imaging of glial cells and synapses. The AX R with NSPARC achieves simultaneous, 4-color super-resolution visualization of astrocytes, microglia, and synapses in cleared brain tissue bit.ly/4q6tcon

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day to honour the contributions of women in STEM and to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators. Thank you to all the women who make scientific progress possible! #IDWGIS

Nikon will be attending the 5th Light Microscopy Australia (LMA) Symposium, 3–5 February at the University of Sydney. We’ll be running live demos of advanced imaging systems and our local applications team will be available to chat. Book a demo: www.picktime.com/NikonLMA

Faster scanning. Healthier cells. Better data. 🔬 The Nikon AX R captures live-cell dynamics at up to 720 fps, cutting illumination time > 20× vs. traditional confocal systems: reducing phototoxicity while preserving clarity. Capture life in motion: www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com #Microscopy

How do tardigrades survive extreme stress? 🧬 At Keio Univ, Dr Arakawa’s lab developed TardiVec, enabling live GFP imaging in tardigrades for the first time. Using Nikon’s AX/AX R Confocal with Denoise.ai, researchers captured clear, low-phototoxic, high-speed data 🔬. bit.ly/4qVym73 #Microscopy

✨ Happy New Year from Nikon! ✨ Kicking off 2026 with colour and curiosity — these fern spores (Ceratopteris richardii) by Dr Igor Siwanowicz (HHMI Janelia) took 5th Place in the 2025 Nikon Small World competition. Here’s to a year of discovery and wonder! #HappyNewYear

Reliable 3D in vitro models are vital for angiogenesis & cancer drug discovery 🔬. This study validated a 3D angiogenesis assay using MPS, with Nikon’s AX/AX R Confocal & NIS-Elements GA3 enabling precise, quantitative 3D imaging 📊. www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/en_AOM/resou... #Microscopy
