Suppose first that is aleph-zero-categorical. If a type in some were nonisolated, the omitting types theorem would produce a countable model omitting it, while a countable elementary submodel of a model realizing it would be another countable model. This contradicts categoricity. Thus every type is isolated. The compact Stone space is then discrete and therefore finite.
Conversely, if every is finite, every type is isolated. Every countable model is consequently atomic, and part i says that any two countable models are isomorphic. This proves the Ryll-Nardzewski theorem.
