Nikon Diaphot TMD Inverted Microscope

The Nikon Diaphot TMD is a research-grade inverted microscope introduced in 1980 as an upgrade to the original Diaphot MD. It was designed for advanced biological and biomedical research requiring high-performance imaging, live-cell observation, and precision photomicrography.

At HiTechTrader, we provide fully tested and serviced Nikon Diaphot TMD microscopes, verified for optical clarity and mechanical precision. Our refurbished instruments deliver the same performance as new units at a fraction of the cost, offering research labs dependable, high-value imaging solutions.

General Description

  1. Optimized for low-light photomicrography and live-cell imaging
  2. V-shaped optical path design maximizes brightness and contrast
  3. Accepts CF objectives (chromatic aberration corrected) for accurate color reproduction
  4. Reinforced stand with low center of gravity for stable imaging performance

Optical and Mechanical Features

  1. Supports brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, DIC, and Hoffman Modulation Contrast (HMC)
  2. Extra-long working distance condensers with high NA for phase contrast and HMC
  3. Stage options include: 
    1. Plain fixed stage
    2. Mechanical XY stage for precise scanning
    3. Specialized stages for microplate handling and automation
  4. Binocular head inclined at 45° with adjustable interpupillary distance and diopter
  5. Focusable Bertrand lens built into binocular tube for phase ring alignment
  6. Integrated dark slide for light routing between eyepiece and camera ports
  7. Smooth coarse and fine focus with adjustable torque control

Illumination System

  1. Standard 50W halogen lamp for brightfield and phase contrast
  2. Optional 100W mercury lamp for fluorescence imaging
  3. Built-in power supply with brightness adjustment
  4. Multiple filter holders for heat absorbing, neutral density, color correction, and diffusion filters
  5. Accepts fluorescence filter cubes for UV and visible light excitation

Photomicrography

  1. Dual camera ports: 
    1. Front F-mount for Nikon 35 mm cameras
    2. Side 23.2 mm port compatible with C-mount, medium-format, and CCTV cameras
  2. Photomask reticle included for precise film-plane focusing
  3. Compatible with automatic exposure cameras (Nikon FE, F3), cine cameras, and TV adapters

Additional Functionalities

  1. Designed for incubation and environmental control with accessories
  2. Supports micromanipulators for cell injection, patch clamping, and advanced manipulations
  3. Compatible with automated scanning platforms and digital analysis systems
  4. Flip-up condenser allows easy specimen access

Dimensions and Build

  1. Rugged die-cast metal construction for durability
  2. Optical tube length: 160 mm (last Nikon series before infinity-corrected optics)
  3. Lower stage mounting improves access during live observations
  4. Ergonomic design supports long-duration use in research labs

Typical Applications

  1. Live-cell imaging in tissue culture and microbiology
  2. Time-lapse microscopy and cell growth monitoring
  3. Fluorescence imaging in biomedical research
  4. Micromanipulation and microinjection studies
  5. Photomicrography for research documentation and publication
