Description
Olympus 10 - DIC Prism for MSPlan 10x RMS Microscope Objective | BH2-NIC EPI Reflected Light Nomarski DICNomarski interference contrast prism (NIC / Nomarski DIC) Olympus 10 for reflected light (EPI) work with Olympus MS Plan 10x objectives.
Basic technical parameters of the prism:
- Manufacturer
- Olympus (Japan)
- Marking
- 10 Olympus
- Serial number
- 201738
- Supported objective
- Olympus MSPlan 10 0.30 ∞/- f=180 (manufacturer catalog number: 1-LM530)
- Male thread
- RMS
- Female thread
- RMS
- Contrast method
- Nomarski interference contrast (abbreviation: NIC)
- Illumination
- a compatible reflected light (EPI) illuminator is required
The prism is housed in a suitably shaped metal casing. On one side there is a male thread, on the other a female thread. Mechanically, the prism is screwed with its male thread into the objective nosepiece - and the Olympus MSPlan 10 0.30 ∞/- f=180 objective is screwed into its female thread.
This prism is essential for reflected light observation using the DIC technique. With this technique, details of the observed surface appear three-dimensional and raised, revealing details that remain invisible in classic reflected light brightfield.
