Olympus, Nikon and Zeiss each have their own resources plus other places online and in forums etc. e.g. https://www.olympus-lifescience.com/en/ ... iguration/

 How did you obtain this secret knowledge?
You can go to the following link:

I did several testing with Nikon DIC prism (L M H family and N1 N2 family) and found that you have to use prisms from the same family; but sometime you can find prisms that work.
