Hi all I have an olympus bx51 frame for sale, I am going to use an AX70 from now on. Has 12V 100W lamphouse & bulb installed. Glass is clear, some slight dust externally. Focus and condenser all smooth. Frame is missing: nosepiece eyepieces condenser objectives Has crescent shaped scratch on neck (w...

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...

Hi there thanks for the reply I've sent a PM!

Looking to buy zeiss axioplan1/skop/phot dic optics, anyone has parts they wish to sell pm me looking for: 0.5-1.4 NA condenser prism 44 53 89 and objective prisms for 20x apo, 40x neofluar 0.75 dry, 63x 1.4 apo oil and 100x 1.4 apo oil DIC nosepiece as well! Some sliders on ebay have I, II, or III ...

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 ...

found the thread...

Hi there just sent a pm, requesting purchase of target with papers if still available

Thanks!

Probably the best cross section image ive ever seen, amazing, thank you for posting!

I'm interested in that 10x dic prism...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...
