Hello friends,
I'm looking to upgrade my Olympus rig to DIC. What I have so far is a set of PlanAPOs (10x UPlanAPO, 20x UPlanSApo, 40xUplanAPO), the universal condenser U-UCDB-2 complete with polarizer and top lens and also the U-ANT (for U-DICT). From what I gather I need the following:
1. U-DICT (have U-ANT).
2. DIC PRISMs for the condenser: U-DP10, U-DPA20 and U-DPA40.
3. A BX-50 or -60 stand (probably BX-50), including the DIC-compatible nosepiece. I'm saving this for last, as I have a functioning CX-40 right now.
I'm also looking for some Nikon phase contrast objectives, see other thread.
I'm in Stockholm/EU so very interested for EU offers, but will listen to anyone. I may not have the funds to buy everything at once.

If your 40x is the oil version, you will need U-DICTS.

Still looking for a BX50 stand (perhaps also BX40, BX60).
Also, I'm looking for the U-DICT (have the U-ANT) and the U-DIC20 and U-DP10 prisms.
