The Innovation: PlasDIC In addition to VAREL (variable relief contrast), Carl Zeiss is now offering an innovative and unique technique: PlasDIC, the first differential contrasting technique tailored to routine laboratory applications. The result: impressive relief effect and needle-sharp contrast across the whole specimen area, even on thick areas, that were a problem up to now. A significant gain in information! The contrast setting is variable and can be optimally adapted to your specimen. In addition, as with Nomarski DIC, different levels can be focused. PlasDIC is the technique of choice for thick structures such as cell aggregates and cell clusters (e.g. apoptosis stages). With its unique design PlasDIC can be used with cells grown in standard plastic vessels, where cells often thrive. Conclusion: PlasDIC is an ingenious, innovative and costeffective technique setting new and exciting standards in routine inverted microscopy.
