Differential interference contrast (DIC) module is designed for video imaging. When used with one of the company's high-magnification lenses (zoom or non-zoom), the DIC allows users to image a microscopy sample to a video monitor. The DIC system enables a user to view a 3-D representation of the surface geometry of a sample, provided a distinction can be realized between raised and lowered regions. This technique is effective when using transmitted light on reflective surfaces. Inspecting semiconductor wafers, flat-panel displays, diamonds, translucent biological samples, and optical media (hard drives) are all easier when applying the DIC imaging technique.
