Hi Dave,

 

With the CSUX, there is a disc bypass option, so with the correct optics in the train, you can get true clean DIC/phase with one camera.

Subject: DIC/phase through spinning disk

 

We are in the process of putting together a spinning disk confocal system.  We have heard mixed things about how acceptable it is to do transmitted light microscopy (DIC or Phase) through the spinning disk, as opposed to running a separate camera through a separate microscope port.  What have others found?
