Microscope

In order to properly analyze images using Hamilton Thorne’s IMSI-Strict software package, the user must be able to produce high-quality images with sufficient detail and contrast. This requires a laboratory set up that includes a laboratory grade inverted microscope with Nomarksi Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) optics which are properly installed and calibrated.

Leica

The following microscopes have been tested and approved

Models Leica DMI3000B; DMI4000B; DMI6000B; AM6000
Objectives 63x dry optics
100x wet (oil) optics
Optics Nomarski DIC optics (polarizers and Wollaston prisms)
VariZoom 0.3 – 1.6 variable zoom required
Instructions For an overview, refer to http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/differential-interference-contrast-step-by-step-guide-to-optimal-dic-setup/

Other Manufacturers

Microscope systems produced by other manufacturers may be acceptable provided they can produce high-quality images with sufficient detail and contrast. This requires a laboratory set up that includes a laboratory grade inverted microscope with Nomarksi Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) optics which are properly installed and calibrated.

For example:

Model Nikon TE2000U with C-mount 1.0 – 1.5 x, ,
Objectives Nikon CFL Plan Achromat VC 60x  or equivalent
(100x dry optics available as alternate)
Optics Nomarski DIC optics (polarizers and Wollaston prisms)
VariZoom Recommended
