2 Observation Procedure
1. Mount the DIC prism matching the objective to be used in the DIC prism slider, then insert this into the light path.
2. Engage the objective to be used in the light path.
}Only when an objective for which the use of the BFP1 position is specified (see pages 7 to 11) is used, push in the prism
position selector lever of the DIC slider to the BFP1 position.
3. Place the specimen on the stage and bring the specimen into focus by moving the objective up or down.
4. Adjust the field iris diaphragm so that its image circumscribes the field of view.
5. Stop down the aperture iris diaphragm to enhance the contrast.
6. Rotate the prism movement knob of the DIC slider to select the interference color that can provide the optimum contrast
in accordance with the specimen.
The background interference color is continuously variable from the gray sensitive color to purple
sensitive color.
The background interference color is continuously variable from black to light gray.

U-DICTHR:
· Setting the background color to dark enables an observation like darkfield observation.
· Setting the background color to gray provides observation with high contrast and 3D feeling with the gray sensitive color
with which the sensitivity is highest.
· Setting the background color to gray allows very small change in phase to be observed as a change in color. (U-DICT only)
· There is a directional characteristic with the detection sensitivity because of the configuration of the DIC prism. As a result,
the contrast may sometimes be improved by rotating the specimen on the stage.
