Re: New microscope for DIC brightfield and darkfield imaging

@ joe

I just checked and found maybe both true:
AF will go mad if you have got a camera with a beam-splitter for the
AF.
I remember cameras with wrong exposure times, so maybe there is a beam-
splitter for illumination-detection, too, in some cameras. So this
could be a reason to use circular polarization inmicroscopy.
My Nikon 801s is not affected, so I use linear...

Is this true? I had thought that the circular polarizing filters (in
photography) were necessary to avoid problems with the automatic focus
feature. Since I only use manual focus cameras, this has never been an
issue for me.

Anyone know this answer for "sure"? Wikipedia didn't help in a quick
session.
