As far as I know phase contrast limits the top resolution slightly due to the size of the phase ring.
There is a reference in this very good article on phase resolution:

Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)

your phase contrast and this slide work very well together, very good contrast and little halo effect. Was this slide mounted in Pleurax or in NOA61?
In Pleurax. Seemingly it is better than NOA61; yet the main disadvantage of NOA61 is that it does not always penetrate into the diatom, as I have seen in several diatom geni .
