Just for reference, from an estimate I got in 2015: a complete DIC setup with 5 objective sliders for a Nikon 80i, at list price, was $10,026. That does not include the objectives themselves. The 2021 prices are unlikely to be less than that ...

I'm going to sell my BX53, just a heads up for the OP. It was purchased new and in excellent condition, located in Sydney. Ground shipping won't cost must, I'll cover it.

Someone just posted some photos taken on a Nexscope DIC system (probably the same as bestscope) on the amateur microscopy group on facebook, and they looked quite good to me (at least within the bounds of web resolution shots).

And a thorough runthrough from microbehubters user Farnsy, though no pictures yet. Looks like a nice system.
