Product Description
Nikon TE2-PS100W Microscope Power Supply – 100W Halogen Lamp Driver for Eclipse TE2000, FN1, and LV100DA-U Systems
This used Nikon TE2-PS100W is a dedicated external power supply designed to drive 12V 100W halogen lamps for Nikon’s professional microscopes. It provides a stable 12V, 8.4A output (100W) and features a universal input that accepts 100-240VAC, making it usable worldwide without voltage selection. The front panel includes a brightness control knob for adjusting illumination intensity.
This power supply is commonly used as an external power source for the episcopic (reflected) illumination lamp house, particularly in configurations requiring simultaneous epi and diascopic (transmitted) illumination. It is compatible with a range of Nikon microscopes including the Eclipse TE2000 series, Eclipse FN1, Eclipse LV100DA-U, and Eclipse 80i systems, as well as the LV-U EPI FA universal episcopic illuminator.
Condition Note: This unit is used and sold as-is. It may show signs of laboratory use. No lamp house, lamp, or power cord is included unless specified. The unit should be tested with a compatible Nikon lamp house before critical use.
