Nikon has announced the availability of a new light microscopy contrast method NAMC (Nikon Advanced Modulation Contrast). Offering enhanced image sharpness and definition, NAMC can be used in all applications that traditionally use Hoffman Modulation Contrast and is particularly important in live cell applications, such as IVF, for the observation of specimens in plastic dishes. NAMC is currently available for Nikons Ti series inverted microscopes.
