Product description

DIC prism for Nikon 60x oil objective, compatible with Labophot2/Optiphot2/FXA microscopes, enables high-contrast imaging.

The Nikon Plan Apo 60 Oil DIC Prism is an essential optical accessory designed for use with Nikon's Labophot2, Optiphot2, and FXA series differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopes. This prism pairs specifically with 60x oil immersion Plan Apo objectives to enhance image contrast through polarized light interference, a critical technique in *live-cell imaging*, *biomedical engineering*, and *molecular diagnostics*.

Key features include:

  • Precision prism designed to optimize DIC imaging quality with oil immersion objectives
  • Compatible exclusively with *60x Plan Apo oil* objectives (objective not included)
  • Suitable for Nikon's legacy DIC microscope systems: Labophot2, Optiphot2, and FXA models
  • Enables enhanced visualization of unstained biological samples, critical in *biotechnology* workflows such as *gene editing* and *synthetic biology research*
  • High optical quality to support detailed morphological studies in *cell imaging* and *bioprocessing* applications

This prism is widely used by researchers in *clinical diagnostics* and *biopharmaceutical production pipelines* requiring precise differential interference contrast to observe fine cellular structures without staining. Its integration in Nikon microscopy setups supports advanced *fluorescence analysis* and *neuroimaging applications* as part of multifunctional imaging platforms for biotechnology and life sciences research.

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.
