Bestscope and Nexscope DIC quality question
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2022 9:05 pm
I've noticed on the websites that sell the Nexscope with DIC is that the DIC kit that come with the microscope only have two DIC prisms for 10/20 and 40/100.
Does this affect the quality of the DIC since I see some outfits that have a prism for 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 objectives?
The Nexscope would have 4 prisms, a pair for the 10/20 objectives and a pair for the 40/100 objectives.
I wonder if there would be any real difference or if the prisms have a different shearing factor to make them more flexible to use with different objectives?
Also I note that I have not seen any DIC images taken with the Bestscope BS2081 as I was told would be coming but have never seen any being posted here.
So I thought I would throw up some questions. I'm still very much interested but don't want to wreck the budget. I'll be cold calling universities/labs to see if there are any DIC equipped microscopes they are selling or recycling. Sometimes a bargain can be had.
