Research System Microscope BX51/BX61 : Features (5)

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

New DIC observation system

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

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

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

High all-round performance U-DICT, U-DICTS

Suitable for observing a wide range of general specimens, such as tissue.

Septuple revolving nosepiece

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

Universal condenser U-UCD8

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