Microscopy
This section describes the components required for differential interference contrast microscopy.
Fundamental components used in common with bright-field microscopy are omitted. For details, see "1 System
Configuration and Controls for Bright/Dark-field Microscopy."
DIC Analyzer slider
(Model: D-DA)
Lambda plate (Model: D-LP)
DIC slider (Model: D-C)
DIC objective
Motorized universal condenser
(Model: NI-CUD-E)
Polarizer rotation
clamp screw
DIC rotating polarizer
(D-DP)
• A DIC module must be installed on the motorized universal condenser.
• Epi-fluorescence components are also required when performing differential interference contrast/epi-fluorescence
microscopy.
• See the figure for bright-field system for control box A and DS-L3 DS Camera Control Unit.
