I have the U-UCD which is the same as a BH2-UCD and will fit the prisms you've listed. PM me if interested.

Why are you asking? You are aware that it's an epi DIC unit? Retro fitted with a fiber optic led illuminator. Should be fine if you want to do typical epi DIC stuff, like wafer inspection. But pretty useless if you want transmitted DIC.

Oh, and it's the older style epi DIC prisms, see comparison here:

You are right my post does not add to the OP's search as I had hoped.

Thanks for posting the link.

Interestingly the link had the following comment on recent experimental use of the older DIC Prisms that I think that are in the photo "FWIW, I've found that Olympus' infinity MSPlans work well on their previous generation DIC prisms (meant for MPlans). Also played around trying a biological specimen (dried blood cells, no cover) by backing the slide with a reflected layer and by using a combination of reflected and transmitted light. Somewhat promising."

Best, John

I've tried to mismatch prisms and so far the results aren't too good, there's a ton of weirdness. I want to write about it but I don't know a good approach. Some combinations may work, it's all a matter of trying and seeing the results.

Hi all, I'm still looking for this set of items. 🙂

My eBay feedback can be found here:
https://www.ebay.com/usr/mxlh5995

We can do the transaction through eBay or a trusted middleman if you prefer those options.

By the way, Macro_Cosmos informed me that actually the BX DIC condenser doesn't fit BH-2 scopes, only the other way around.
