Olympus Vanox DIC system - terra incognita for me

Post by micro-man »

Hello,

with a Vanox AHBT-3 I additionally got some "DIC components" which obviously do not fit to this Vanox; I think this are components for a Voanox with a Fluorescence head. Unfortunately in Germany are not many users of a Vanox, so I try to get some information here. I know a lot of different DIC systems but I have never seen a Vanox DIC system and the required components.

1) Can someone identify all this components? Is this a "complete" DIC equipment for a Vanox with Fluo head?

2) Can anyone show a complete DIC equipment für a Vanox like mine?

I would be happy for every information about the Vanox DIC system (oder besser: systems), the required components or any documents regarding Vanox microscopes.

Hi Peter,
Maybe this old thread could have some useful info for you:
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 13#p116513

brochures and manuals at Alan's site http://www.alanwood.net/olympus/downloads.html#vanox ,you likely already know it

I don't know if it needs an epi-fluorescence head to be mounted, I've never touched this beautiful monster
The objective DIC prisms seem very different for each nosepiece head
Is AH2-NAS the lasts one in your first picture?
