Re: PZO DIC on a BHT microscope, possible?
This will be at least partly a research project. Given the excellent prices you've been quoted - probably worth the effort. I've played around a bit with a PZO DIC condenser. There's a sort of sliding dovetail on the bottom of this - and I machined a circular dovetail that slides on and is held by ...

If this si true:
x-axis: distance from the optical axis, mm
y-axis: % chromatic aberration in the intermediate image with 20mm

than I read it opposite:
Nikon best, then Olympus and then Zeiss
