4.3.3 Combination of Optical Elements
To perform DIC/IMSI microscopy, use a combination of the following optical elements.
Referring to the following table, combine the DIC condenser module and the DIC slider to match the
objective and condenser lens in use. In addition to standard combinations, there are combinations focusing
on high contrast or high resolution. Select the best combination as required.
Contrast and resolution of DIC images
In principle, contrast and resolution of the DIC image contradict with each other. (The higher the contrast,
the lower the resolution.)
Select the best combination suitable for the purpose.
