What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The BX 60 M DIC is a member of the Olympus BX series of upright microscopes designed for materials science and industrial inspection applications.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Differential interference contrast microscopy uses a polarizer, a Nomarski prism, and an analyzer to convert minute differences in optical path length across a specimen into visible contrast, revealing surface topography and edge boundaries without the need for staining.
