Instructions for safe assembly
•
Hold the polarizer firmly during assem-
bly and disassembly so that it does not
fall onto the XY stage.

The polarizer 10450708 is not included in
the standard delivery of the LeicaDVM6.

You do not have to switch off the
Leica DVM6 or the illumination when
installing accessories.
Assembly

To prevent possible damage to the
samples, remove them from the XY
stage. Rotate the focus drive downwards to
create more room for assembly.
1. Attach the polarizer so that it perfectly fits
onto the objective.
2. Lock the polarizer on the objective by turn-
ing it slightly until it engages. The polar-
izer is detected by the LAS X software
automatically.

The polarizer is used to polarize the ring
light illumination; the analyzer is already
installed in the Leica DVM6 zoom module.
Rotating the polarizers changes the polariza-
tion direction, e.g. to suppress direct reflections.
