Last month, we ran our first NIS-Elements workshop in NSW at the University of Sydney! Researchers explored 3D visualisation, segmentation and AI workflows. We loved showcasing just what this incredible software can do!

POP QUIZ | How well do you know your Nikon microscopy trivia?

Nikon's first microscope, released in 1925, had a unique name derived from the company's English title. What was it called?
A) NIKKOR-M
B) Optiphot
C) JOICO
D) Microflex

What's your answer?

With Segment.ai, part of Nikon’s NIS-Elements, researchers can train the software on their own images: a little manual input first, then rapid segmentation of similar images in minutes, not hours. bit.ly/46Dx89p

🔄 Upgrade your lab. Upgrade your savings.

For a limited time, trade in your Eclipse Ti or other qualifying microscope and step up to the Eclipse Ti2-E.
