Differential Interference Contrast – DIC Microscopy:

DIC Magnifications: 10x. 20x. 40x. 100x
All DIC with Plan-Neofluar Objectives
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
The mechanical stage is the DIC version capable of rotating. This is important for optimizing the DIC images
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:

5-Place reflector module cube turret
Dichroic Sets: DAPI, FITC, TRITC
Includes blockers on empty positions for UV protection

Transmitted Illumination:

Halogen Illumination: 12V-100W

Koehler Field Iris Diaphragm. (manually operated)
Koehler Illumination was properly achieved
IR heatshield (transmitted light path) is properly installed to protect internal optics
Frosted diffuser filter is properly installed
3200 K Illumination Setting Button
Has ability to do cross polarization to increase imaging contrast. Includes polarizer and analyzer. Polarizer rotates for adjustment of precise optical alignment.
