We would welcome advice on all aspects of this endeavor, but we need a specific question answered ASAP: Does anyone have experience with an alternative to Nomarski optics for (in our case) a Nikon Diaphot inverted scope. A Nikon rep has suggested Hoffman Modulation Contrast as a cheaper way to go -- but, does it work?? RSVP to RJREIS@LIFE.UAMS.EDU Thanks 10^6. .
