Arrangement for object contrasting in microscopes

摘要

The arrangement for object contrasting in microscopes is applied in contrast microscopes, in particular to carry out the differential interference contrast method. The aim of the invention is an arrangement which permits a minimised overall height of the apparatus and a reduction in the technical outlay. The object to be achieved by the invention consists in compensating a depolarisation caused by a totally reflecting beam deflecting element in the beam path of the polarisation optics. This object is achieved according to the invention when a Wollaston prism arranged in the intermediate image is arranged displaced axially by a distance e and laterally by a distance d.
