Differential Interference Contrast – DIC Microscopy:

This is a fully loaded DIC configuration

DIC Magnifications:

10x
20x
40x
63x
100x

We tested the DIC on all configured magnifications and obtained excellent textbook quality relief type images for each. Everything works as it was designed to.
DIC is a microscopy technique that gives relief-like images, especially with thick specimens. The 3D effect enhances visualizing structures in thick specimens better than phase. Thick specimens normally are not imaged well in phase contrast. This microscope is capable of imaging in relief or pseudo darkfield, depending on how you adjust it

Fluorescent Illumination:

HBO 100 Lamp Housing and External Power Supply with included 100W Mercury Bulb.
Field Iris Diaphragm.
Aperture Iris Diaphragm.
The Iris diaphragms were properly centered.
Electronic internal shutter to cut off the fluorescence illumination.
Manual shutter slider.
IR heatshield (epi-illumination light path) is properly installed in the epi port to protect internal optics.
Includes an additional IR filter on the shutter slider for added protection, This is specifically used to reduce photo bleaching of the fluorescent specimen.
Proper optical alignment was achieved in the epi illumination light path.
Arc alignment viewing aid is included

Fluorescence Dichroic Filters:

Eight-Place (8) reflector module cube turret

Installed Dichroic Sets:

DAPI – Zeiss Filter Set 02: EX. 365, BS. 395, EM. 420 long pass.
FITC – Zeiss Filter Set 38 HE: EX. 470/40 bandpass, BS. 495, EM. 525/50 bandpass.
TRITC – Zeiss Filter Set 15: EX. 546/12 bandpass, BS. 580, EM. 590 long pass.
These filters were tested and produced very good images on this microscope.
Includes blockers on all empty positions for UV protection.
The cube style is the modern Push & Click version, not the older screw-in style.
Transmitted Illumination: Brightfield – Darkfield – DIC:
Halogen Illumination: 12V-100W.
