ToupTek DIC100 – Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy System

Name: ToupTek DIC100 - Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy System
Brand: ToupTek
SKU: 17984

ToupTek DIC100 is a differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy system based on dual-beam polarization interference (Nomarski prism). It reveals microrelief and refractive index differences in transparent samples, delivering a high-contrast image with pseudo-three-dimensional relief – without staining.

What is differential interference contrast (DIC)?

Polarized light is split by a Nomarski prism into two orthogonal beams with a phase difference; after passing through the sample and recombining, the analyzer generates interference that converts optical path differences into contrast and the impression of three-dimensional relief. Unlike phase contrast, DIC produces no halo and retains higher resolution.
