🔧 Product Description

The Olympus U-DICTS is a shift-type Nomarski DIC prism slider for transmitted light DIC microscopy on BX series microscopes. The shift-type design allows lateral adjustment of the prism position to optimize the DIC bias retardation and contrast for different specimen types and imaging conditions. In transmitted light DIC, the Nomarski prism splits the illuminating beam into two slightly laterally displaced beams that pass through the specimen and recombine to produce interference contrast revealing optical path gradients in the specimen. This creates high-contrast images of transparent specimens such as unstained cells, embryos, and other biological materials without the need for staining or fixation.

🔎 Typical Applications

• Live cell imaging of unstained biological specimens
• Embryology and developmental biology research
• Cell biology with enhanced contrast without staining
• Observation of transparent materials and specimens
• Microinjection and manipulation under DIC
