Re: Pillars of Hercules
Awesome view, I've been to Gibraltr once before... Of all the places I've lived was always about 2 hrs from the ocean...had to stuff a 50mL centrifuge tube as full as I can of...everything. Not getting too greedy seems to be the key...never had the luxury of going back every day. Wife never did like...

Re: Dodging the infinity hump
I bought the same adapter from ebay and using it now on my bx51. Fits perfectly. I found i must use the heine with caps to get a good image. Was not able to get good results with cap off. The dry cap must almost be touching the slide to get the best phase effect with a plan 40x phase objective. But ...

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
Just to follow up and close this out yes that was the correct prism for the UPlanFl 60x oil. Excellent contrast effect.
Thanks for your help Macro!

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
That shouldn't magnify the image.l in an knfinity system unless I am misreading. Where is the spacer added? The spacer is added above the neck of the microscope and below the U-RLA giving it sufficient height to clear the microscope neck (The round lamphouse connector does not fit on a BX51 frame b...

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
Yes 3d printing a tray would definitely work...Well I mounted everything back onto the BX51 and DIC works great. This means I now have a frame that can do both transmitted and reflected DIC (I still need BD objectives and U-DICR slider of course). One issue is the U-RLA needs a spacer to increase he...

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
Hi there, the analyzer is the U-AN, which is smaller in diameter than the AX-AN and does not fit in the slot correctly, theres no satisfying "click" and it can be pushed in too far. However, the strong black diagonal interference bar is visible and the DIC effect is quite good now. Next step is to m...

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
Well I think that must be why the U-DICT seems to be more desirable and typically more expensive than the U-DICTS, i thought it was due to the "sensitive colors" it can achieve but more likely you won't need another intermediate tube to accommodate the analyzer. In all the literature it looks like t...

Re: Olympus UIS DIC
Well I mounted the objectives onto my AX70 with normal BF RMS objective turret and no luck with DIC, images look similar to the BX51. According to the U-UCD8 manual those should be the correct prisms for the objectives, but now I have my doubts. Also I notice when adjusting the lower polarizer for m...
