Displaying the applicable microscopy
To perform each of Ph, DIC, IMSI, and NAMC microscopy, an objective applicable for the microscopy must
be used. An objective intended for a specific microscopy has a code which indicates the relationship of the
applicable type of microscopy and optical elements.
• Ph objective: Indicates a Ph code (PhL, Ph1 to Ph4) and the properties of a phase ring (DLL, DL, DM,
BM, ADL, and ADH).
• DIC/IMSI objective: Indicates the letter of DIC or IMSI and the applicable type of prism (N1, N2, and
NR).
• NAMC objective: Indicates a NAMC code (NAMC1 to NAMC3).
