	Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Specialized Microscopy Techniques - Differential Interference Contrast
		The relative optical orientation and sequential positioning of the DIC microscope optical components are illustrated in the tutorial, as are the wide spectrum of images obtained when the objective Nomarski prism is translated across the optical axis.
		Specimen Orientation Effects on DIC Images - In differential interference contrast images, shadow and highlight intensity (amplitude) is greatest along the shear axis of the microscope, and regions of constant refractive index display intensity values that are identical to that of the background.
		Optical Sectioning with Phase Contrast and DIC - One of the primary advantages of differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy over phase contrast is the ability to utilize the instrument at full numerical aperture without suffering the masking effects of phase plates or condenser annuli, which severely restrict the size of the condenser and objective apertures.

	Nikon MicroscopyU: Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) Microscopy
		Reflected Light DIC Microscopy - Reflected light microscopy is one of the most common techniques applied in the examination of opaque specimens that are usually highly reflective and, therefore, do not absorb or transmit a significant amount of the incident light.
		DIC Microscope Component Alignment - The proper adjustment and alignment of differential interference contrast (DIC) optical components is critical to imaging performance, so it is imperative that the microscopist recognize misalignments and component mismatches, and take the necessary steps to correct these errors.
		Wavefront Relationships in de Sénarmont and Nomarski DIC - In differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, the spatial relationship and phase difference between ordinary and extraordinary wavefronts is governed either by the position of the objective prism (Nomarski DIC) or the relationship between the polarizer and a thin quartz retardation plate in a de Sénarmont design.

	Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Specialized Microscopy Techniques - Introduction to Differential Interference ...
		The basic differential interference contrast (DIC) system, first devised by Francis Smith in 1955, is a modified polarized light microscope with two Wollaston prisms added, one to the front focal plane of the condenser and a second at the rear focal plane of the objective (see Figure 1).
		The final DIC image does not rely on the optical path difference being introduced exclusively through translation of the objective prism, and the same result can be obtained when the condenser prism is moved along the microscope optical axis.
		Contrast in DIC microscopy is directional, exhibiting a maximum along the axis of shear and a minimum in the orthogonal direction.

	eMedicine - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation : Article by Marcel Levi, MD, PhD
		DIC is characterized by a systemic activation of the blood coagulation system, which results in the generation and deposition of fibrin, leading to microvascular thrombi in various organs and contributing to the development of multiorgan failure.
		Examples of such situations are the DIC that occurs as a complication of acute promyelocytic leukemia (acute myeloid leukemia M-3, according to the FAB-classification) or the DIC that may occur secondary to some forms of adenocarcinoma (for example prostatic cancer).
		Factors involved in the development of DIC in patients with infections may be specific cell membrane components of the microorganism (lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin) or bacterial exotoxins (eg, staphylococcal alpha toxin).

	Disseminated intravascular coagulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a pathological process in the body where the blood starts to coagulate throughout the whole body.
		DIC results in lower fibrinogen (as it has all been converted to fibrin), and this can be tested for in the hospital lab.
		The prognosis for those with DIC, depending on its cause, is often grim, leading the acronym to be known colloquially as "death is coming".

	DIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The main clinical manifestation of DIC is bleeding which is due to depletion of coagulation factors and platelets, fibrinolysis, and the anticoagulant effect of FDPs.
		Although DIC is not a primary event, if left unchecked it can cause death of the patient due to blood loss and decreased perfusion through the microvascular beds of vital organs because of thrombosis.
		The diagnosis of acute DIC (the most commonly recognized form of DIC in animals) requires identification of an appropriate underlying disease, recognition of clinical signs of hemorrhage or thrombosis, and documentation of the constellation of laboratory abnormalities consistent with DIC.

		DIC is a pathophysiologic term describing a continuum of events that occur in the coagulation pathway in association with a variety of disease states.
		Acute DIC is characterized by generalized bleeding, which ranges from petechiae to exsanguinating hemorrhage or microcirculatory and macrocirculatory thrombosis.
		Chronic DIC is characterized by subacute bleeding and diffuse thrombosis.

		DIC is characterized by a widespread and ongoing activation of coagulation, leading to possible vascular or microvascular fibrin deposition and thereby compromising an adequate blood supply to various organs, which may contribute to organ failure 19.
		Third, DIC has been shown to be an independent predictor of mortality in patients with sepsis and severe trauma 22.
		In clinical practice a diagnosis of DIC is usually made by a combination of tests, such as platelet count, global coagulation tests (PT/PTT), and a test for soluble fibrin, either d-dimer or FDPs.

	Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) -- Topic Overview
		In rare cases, extensive bleeding caused by DIC will be the first symptom of the disease or condition causing it (such as cancer).
		When DIC causes the blood's platelets and clotting factors to become depleted, excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) occurs throughout the body.
		In a less severe type of DIC called chronic DIC, the body is able to compensate for the abnormal clotting.

		Because DIC is not the primary disease but a manifestation of underlying illness, diagnosing the initiating disorder is crucial.
		However, in individuals with acute DIC, the coagulation defect is complex, and the value of anticoagulants in a patient with bleeding is uncertain.
		DIC in meningococcemia and pneumococcemia is fulminant, and patients with these conditions should rapidly be given antibiotics and immediately transferred to a tertiary center.

	Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). DermNet NZ
		DIC presents in a very ill patient as bleeding into the skin (purpura) and other tissues.
		Hence, patients with DIC have a loss of balance between the clot-forming activity of thrombin (enzyme that causes blood to clot) and the clot-lysing activity of plasmin (enzyme that dissolves blood clots).
		Acute DIC is a haemorrhagic disorder characterised by multiple bruises (ecchymoses), bleeding from mucosal sites (such as lips and genitals) and depletion of platelets and clotting factors in the blood.
