−Increased resistance to vibrations due to the design of the in-base focus mechanism
−Low-profile design that creates more space around the objective for increased freedom in specimen handling and easier operation
−A belt-drive mechanism to eliminate the projection of the rack at the edge of the stage for better ergonomics and smoother movement
−Removable specimen holder for fast hand scanning of slides
−Improved XY cross travel, providing the comfort and feel similar to Nikon’s higher grade ECLIPSE series microscopes
