Agree, some real beauties in those sets!
Zeiss Standard WL (somewhat fashion challenged) & Wild M8
Olympus E-P2 (Micro Four Thirds Camera)

+3 on the images. The Nikon Optiphot DIC system seems to be the workhorse - along with great skill in making those images.

Not sure about the PZO - can I assume the PhA, PhS and Phz are phase contrast settings rather than DIC?

Thanks for the compliments, still learning. Yes, on the phase contrast question.

These are DIC with the PZO Biolar, Again not as sharp as they could be and a little over done. <g>
