In DIC microscopy, the condenser prism must be precisely matched to the objective magnification and NA to produce the correct wavefront shear for optimal contrast — the U-DIC60 is the correct prism for 60x objectives including the UPlanFLN 60x, UPlanSApo 60x, and PlanApo N 60x. When paired with the appropriate objective-side DIC slider and polarizers, the U-DIC60 enables full transmitted light DIC imaging, producing the characteristic pseudo-three-dimensional contrast that reveals membrane boundaries, organelles, cytoskeletal structures, and fine detail in unstained living or fixed specimens. The 60x magnification range is particularly valuable for high-resolution live-cell imaging where the balance between field of view and resolving power is critical. As a genuine Olympus OEM component (part no. U2-CD116) manufactured in Japan and supplied in new\/open box condition, it delivers the optical precision required for reproducible DIC imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e• Transmitted light DIC imaging with 60x objectives on Olympus BX and IX series microscopes\u003cbr\u003e• Live-cell imaging of unstained specimens requiring high-contrast DIC at 60x magnification\u003cbr\u003e• Imaging of membranes, organelles, and cytoskeletal structures without fluorescent labeling\u003cbr\u003e• High-resolution biological and materials imaging balancing field of view and resolution\u003cbr\u003e• Replacement of missing or damaged U-DIC60 prisms in Olympus Universal Condenser DIC sets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse; font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eU-DIC60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eU2-CD116\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmitted Light DIC (Nomarski) Condenser Prism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatched Objectives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPlanFLN 60x, UPlanSApo 60x, PlanApo N 60x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus Universal Condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus BX and IX Series Microscopes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew \/ Open Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUniversity and institutional customers are welcome to submit purchase orders.
