Optical Elements Required for NAMC Microscopy

NAMC microscopy requires the following components as well as the status of bright field.
• NAMC objective
• TC-C-DICPNI NAMC/IMSI Polarizer
• NAMC condenser module (to be attached to the slit diaphragm and the condenser turret)
• NAMC condenser lens or LWD condenser lens
NAMC objective
NAMC microscopy requires the use of NAMC
objectives with a built-in modulator.
An ID code called "NAMC code" is attached to each
of the NAMC objectives and NAMC condenser
modules. There are three types of codes: NAMC1
to NAMC3. To perform NAMC microscopy, place a
NAMC objective and a NAMC module having the
same NAMC code in the optical path.
Combinations of each objective and condenser
modules are as listed in the table above.
NAMC condenser module
To perform NAMC microscopy, mount a NAMC
condenser module, having the same NAMC code as
the NAMC objective, on the condenser turret.
Make sure to use a combination having the same
code; otherwise the NAMC effect is not delivered.
NAMC/IMSI polarizer
NAMC microscopy requires the use of a NAMC/IMSI
polarizer.
