Re: Help needed: DIC components necessary for my Oly
Absolutely agree, we should make some kind of database for these prisms and their performance with specifically mismatched objectives, and even extend to cross branded ones, if that is applicable. It will save a great deal of time and nuisance, and money too. Besides from one retired Olympus techie, I haven't found or seen any solid source backed up with images. It's all anecdotes and theory talk.
This will have to be a project involving many in the community with time, sufficient knowledge, and of course, a deep wallet or access to adequate equipment. It's not going to be easy.
Here's mine for now...
UIS2: U-DIC100 U-DIC40
Works with UIS: 100x UplanApo NA 0.5-1.35, 40x UplanApo NA 0.5-1.0 (phase contrast)
I can also try out the 100x FL. I see no DIC effect with the 60x Apo, ruining my slide for nothing.
