Thank again to all...
Pau: really there is not a factory configuration for this magnification, Zeiss did only a plan 6,3 slider for this range, but mixi g some sliders and prism you can cover all magnification also with some sliders...
in this case i did 4x dic with plan 40x slider fitted upside down and a prism condenser marked II but with NO 1,40 top lens...
hope this help

Gosh. It never occurred to me to try using the DIC sliders upside down! I've just tried it and found mix/match combos that work for 2.5x, 6.3x and 10x! Until now I thought DIC was limited to 16x and above with my meager slider collection. Now I've got weak but very useable diff contrast at lower powers too.

Pau,
i think that only single objective prisms DIC versions (Zeiss, Nikon) do some nice combinations, becouse you can "play" with single little slides!
The DIC versions with a unique cobining prism for objective (Leica Olympus) do not make it possible becouse you should make an inversion of condenser DIC prisms, and I do not recommend itbecause you might lose the alignment of the prisms.
(sorry for my poor english )
