Not my experience. Have also never seen A.p. resolved to dots with DIC,
and especially diatoms are suposed to be ideal. Check the MTF's
http://www.olympusmicro.com/primer/java/mtf/contrasttechniques/index.html
What (in)formal papers are you talking about?

You shouldn't use DIC for ultimate resolution.

René.

Now the question may be raised whether separation of the pores
within a stria, can be done by LM. I do not believe that I can do it
with the setup described above. I might be possible to do better
with a projection magnification of 5x or more.


Let me disagree with Rene. Actually if you look at the light path
diagrams
and the formal and informal papers on DIC it actually increases resolution
by a tiny amount. This is caused by the two light path phenominon that
creates DIC.
