Description
Olympus Neo 20 - DIC Prism for NeoSPlan 20x M26 Microscope Objective | BH2-NIC EPI Reflected Light Nomarski DICNomarski interference contrast prism (NIC / Nomarski DIC) Olympus Neo20 for reflected light (EPI) work with Olympus NeoSPlan 20x objectives.
Basic technical parameters of the prism:
- Manufacturer
- Olympus (Japan)
- Marking
- Neo 20 Olympus
- Serial number
- 200318
- Supported objectives
- Olympus NeoSPlan 20 0.46 ∞/0 f=180 (manufacturer catalog number: 1-LM440) and Olympus NeoSPlan 20 NIC 0.46 ∞/0 f=180 (manufacturer catalog number: 1-LM444)
- Male thread
- M26
- Female thread
- M26
- 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 Neo SPlan 20 0.46 ∞/0 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.
