Yes, this is nice version then. It's lacking 1,25x lens in the tube. Only finite Nikon with DIC and fluorescence without empty magnification. There is phase annuli storage under the condenser, in case you've missed it. I've found after years that i have full phase and df stop set there. You have dr...

The images in your last set are unnecessarily small also. Did you notice this earlier reply? As far as image size is concerned you can post much larger photos on the forum than your two samples. First, make sure that your image dimensions are 1024 pixels or smaller, on both axes, AND that the image...

Thank you. Yes, I have tried it and I get "DIC colors" but, in my opinion, there is a notable loss in the definition of the image

Hi Francisco, Looks OK. There will be differences depending on the type of objectives you use. Do you use immersion for the condenser (assuming it is NA 1.35 or 1.4)? Have you tried playing around with the contrast levels (rotating the polariser) or do you always work at maximum contrast level? Reg...

Re: Nikon Microphot. DIC Sénarmont

Both the photographs and the videos are unedited or retouched I am confused. The still images posted inline are only 227 × 173 pixels, including the black bevel border. Are the images really that small and bordered coming out of the camera? --Rik The photographs have been resized to be published in...

I appreciate comments, advice and criticisms that help me use it correctly. Thank you Francisco P.S. Both the photographs and the videos are uned...
