Designed for advanced scientists and researchers, the Eclipse occupies minimal space on the laboratory work bench, yet maintains optimal performance. Its elegant capacitive touch keypad provides highly efficient operation and an increased lifespan of the balance. When a key is pressed, the pad responds immediately, even if the technician is wearing protective gloves. The smooth surface allows fingerprints and spills to be wiped off easily. With fewer parts than a traditional force motor balance, the Eclipse's weighing sensor provides highly efficient mechanics plus improved electronic processing power, leading to superior performance. Other standard features include solid metal housing, adjustable leveling feet, USB and RS-232 interfaces and a large backlit LCD.
