C-DIC
High-contrast innovations

Carl Zeiss provides a new optical polarization technique that operates with circular polarized light (Circular DIC) in contrast to conventional DIC. Trendsetting in materials microscopy, circular polarization with DIC solves a familiar imaging problem. With the innovative C-DIC technique, sample structures that were visible only in a certain direction can now be seen in their entirety – regardless of their orientation and without rotating the sample stage. You simply adjust the knob on the DIC slider for complete and highcontrast imaging of all specimen structures. All information about the specimen is rendered visible, contrasts are sharper – and your workflow is substantially more efficient.
