Product description

Olympus IX-DPO100 Nomarski DIC prism designed for enhanced phase contrast in live-cell imaging applications.

The Olympus IX-DPO100 Nomarski Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Prism is an optical accessory specifically engineered for enhancing contrast in transmitted light microscopy. It is compatible with Olympus condenser models IX-LWUCD, IX2-LWUCD, and IX2-LWUCDA. This prism facilitates high-resolution, shadow-free phase contrast imaging, making it essential for *live-cell imaging*, *cell morphology studies*, and biotechnology workflows including molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing analysis.

Key features include:

  • Precision optical design for producing high-contrast Nomarski DIC images
  • Integration with specific Olympus inverted microscopes condensers for optimal performance
  • Critical in applications requiring fluorescence analysis combined with DIC imaging for enhanced cellular detail
  • Widely used in *cell biology*, *neuroscience*, and *biomedical engineering* research fields
  • Supports advanced imaging protocols commonly adopted in *synthetic biology* and *molecular cloning workflows*

This prism is tailored for researchers demanding reliable and reproducible *phase contrast microscopy* to visualize unstained, transparent specimens, particularly in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and biomanufacturing quality control.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
