PlasDIC
PlasDIC is an innovative interference contrast technique that can be used on the Axiovert 40 CFL in combinaĆ
tion with the following components: Quintuple nosepiece with slot for PlasDIC slider, slider Ph, H, PlasDIC,
slit-diaphragm 5 mm for PlasDIC, 3-position reflector slider P&C with analyzer moduleĂD P&C.
PlasDIC provides a relief-like image and can be used especially with thick specimens. The contrast is variably
adjustable. The wells of microtiter plates can be contrasted up to the edge. It is not necessary to use cultivation
vessels with glass bottom.
