According with Olympus literature, contrast wise both prisms are equivalent. I personally would prefer more grey sensitive span than color contrast and likely I would appreciate the vertical prism movement. The only drawback for me would be the need of an external analyzer slot.houstontx wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 3:19 pmWell 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...
DIC colors are nice although resolution is lower. You can get them placing a rotatable 1/4 lambda plate over the substage polarizer.
I own a U-DICT, do you want to exchange it for your U-DICTS really?
