Operation of the Polarizers
Polarizer for the diascopic microscopy
To perform the diascopic polarization microscopy,
attach the polarizer for the diascopic microscopy
into the polarizer rotation ring.
On the polarizer, there is a protrusion to identify
its orientation. Set the scale for the polarizer
orientation on the lower part of the condenser to
the “0” position. And attach the polarizer so that
its protrusion is aligned to the index on the
polarizer rotation ring.
You can change the polarizer orientation using the
polarizer rotation ring.
Polarizer for the episcopic microscopy
To perform episcopic polarization microscopy,
attach the polarizer for the episcopic microscopy
into the epi illuminator.
Insert the polarizer slider with the orientation
index facing front side (eyepiece side).
Pushing the polarizer slider in to the first click-
stop position inserts the empty hole into the
optical path. Pushing it further in to the second
click-stop position inserts the polarizer into the
optical path.
You can change the polarizer orientation using the
polarizer rotation ring.
