DIC Prisms for a Leica Inverted

#1 Post by Firo » Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:01 pm

Hi all,

I want to add risms for DIC on a DM IRB inverted microscope. I have S23 0.53 lens on condenser. I don't have plans for an oil condenser.

So far I have PL FL 100x OIL D , PL FL 40x D PH2. I'll go with D for the lower magnification objectives. I can not find a Leica document on google searches. What prisms should I get for the condenser?

Thanks in advance,

Firat.

Hi all, I have found this source:

Meanwhile I acquired D1 and E prisms from a deal. I'm planing to get a D prism as well.
  • PL FL 100x OIL D -> D1 + K10
  • PL FL 40x D PH2 -> D + K6
  • PL FL 20x D PH2 (future buy) -> D1 + K6
  • PL FL 63x (future buy) -> E + K10
Do you think this is a good plan?
