Nikon DIC Microscope Nosepiece Turret BD Plan 5x 10x 20x 40x 60x Objective 210/0

Nikon 5 position Universal Brightfield/Darkfield/DIC Nosepiece Turret, Nomarski, for Optiphot. Note: No DIC prisms are included.

BD Plan 5x/0.1 210/0, WD=9mm. BD Plan 10x/0.25 210/0, WD=3mm. BD Plan 20x/0.40 210/0, WD=2.5mm. BD Plan 40x/0.65 210/0, WD=1mm.

BD Plan 60x/0.80 210/0, WD=0.35mm. Brightfield + Darkfield type, M26 Thread. Although none of the objectives are marked DIC I tested them with crossed polarisers and they all worked fine, giving good, even and consistent extinction. So they appear to be strain free and would be suitable for polarisation or DIC use.

All in good used condition, all lenses clean and clear. M26 thread, for brightfield, darkfield and DIC using BD Plan objectives. Rotates and clicks into position perfectly. Prism levers have been cleaned and re-greased so all working smoothly. Normally the levers are seized or very stiff as the old grease has dried up.

All prisms springs, screws and covers are present, just the actual DIC prisms are missing. Was motorised but motor has been removed. Fits any Optiphot 1,2, 66, 88, 100, 200 etc. And rotates normally just like a manual nosepiece. Last 2 pics are an example of the type of DIC prism that fits this nosepiece.

Note this prism is NOT included, it's just an example.
