5.4 Polarizer
5.4.1 General information
For analyzing samples with polarized light, the following polarizers are available:
Polarizer for visible light (VIS polarizer)
Polarizer for infrared light (IR polarizer)
The polarizer holder has two positions: one position for the IR polarizer (A in fig. 5.5) and
another position for the VIS polarizer (B in fig. 5.5). There are two indentations (C in
fig. 5.5) at the polarizer holder for ensuring the correct slide-in depth of the two polariz-
ers. When you slide the polarizer in the microscope, the polarizer holder snaps notice-
ably in the correct position. Thus it is ensured that a polarizer (VIS or IR) is in the beam
path. In case you want to analyze the sample with non-polarized light, pull the polarizer
holder out of the microscope.
i
The IR polarizer (A675-P) requires a holder for visible light (A675) because this holder
has a rotatable mount for the IR polarizer. If you have purchased the IR polarizer (A675-
P) separately, you have to insert the IR polarizer with the correct orientation into the
rotatable mount of the polarizing device. Attention: Be careful not touch the delicate
grating structure on the polarizer crystal surface.
5.4.2 Safety notes
The polarizer material is zinc selenide (ZnSe). Zinc selenide is toxic. During normal
operation and in an undamaged state, the polarizer material does not pose any health
hazard. However, if the material breaks because of mechanical impact, be extremely
careful and observe the following safety instructions:
