DIC condenser module (IMSI condenser module)
Use the DIC condenser module by attaching it to the
condenser turret.
The combination of a DIC condenser module and a
DIC slider (objective-side DIC prism) depends on
objectives used. Use a correct combination.
Example of the DIC condenser module (conden-
ser-side DIC prism)
