New DIC observation system optimizes the specimen image at wider magnifications.

Optimum shearing volume according to the specimen
Three types of prisms with different shearing volumes are provided to define contrast and resolution. When using the minimum shearing volume prism (HR), which emphasizes resolution, images of thick specimens can be observed without glare.
New DIC system allows wider selection
More DIC-compatible objectives are available, and users can select the most suitable shearing volume for a given specimen from among 10X to 100X objectives. In addition, combination with other observation methods and components is simpler and more convenient.

High contrast for thin specimens U-DICTHC
High contrast can be obtained even in high magnification observations
of thin specimens, such as culture cells.

High resolution with less glare U-DICTHR
This unit enables observations with high resolution but less glare even for thick specimens used in developmental and genetic research, such as finely-structured diatoms, embryos, zebrafish and C. elegans.

High all-round performance U-DICT, U-DICTS
Suitable for observing a wide range of general specimens, such
as tissue.

Septuple revolving nosepiece for DIC/simple POL/ U-D7RE
Equipped with a DIC slider, the U-D7RE septuple revolving nosepiece allows simultaneous attachment of 7 objectives ranging from low to high magnifications. It is especially suitable for combined DIC and fluorescence observations.

Universal condenser U-UCD8
This condenser, with built-in polarizer, allows simultaneous attachment of up to 8 optical components, freely combined or easily exchanged.
