Which ibidi products are compatible with differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy?

The birefringence of both the ibidi Polymer Coverslip and the Glass Coverslip bottom is very low, which allows for differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. However, the special ibidi channel slides are not compatible with DIC, since the channel’s ceiling has a high birefringence. The lids of the µ-Slides and µ-Dishes lids are also problematic in combination with DIC. Therefore, we provide a DIC Lid for µ-Dishes and a DIC Lid for µ-Slides. These allow for DIC microscopy with uncompromised quality.
