Directly placing the polarizer
When a polarizing attachment is used, the periphery may become dark in the low zoom magnification range. To
reduce vignetting, remove the stage glass and directly place the polarizer.
Use only the polarizer of the polarizer section. Drop the polarizer into the position on the base or the stand where
the diffuser was removed. Use the original stage plate supplied with the base or the stand.
The polarizer cannot be placed directly on the P2-DBF Fiber Diascopic Illumination Base.

Attach a P-SXY64 XY Stage.
The P-SXY64 can be attached to any types of bases and
stands.
(1) Remove the fastener for the stage. Loosen the four
M4 hexagon socket head bolts for the stage using
the hex wrench (nominal designation: 3).
(2) Loosen the M4 set screw for the stage plate on the
base or the stand using the hex driver (nominal
designation: 2) to detach the stage plate.
Attaching the P-SXY64 Stage
by tightening the bolts
Y-stroke limit bolt
When attaching the stand, screw the Y-stroke limit bolt
supplied with the P-SXY64 into the stage. Use the hex
wrench (nominal designation: 2.5) when tightening the M3
hexagon socket head bolt.
(3) Attach the P-SXY64 Stage using the four screw
holes that are located under the stage plate
attachment position.
Move the upper plate of the P-SXY64 to align the
installation holes on the lower plate with the screw
holes, insert the four M6 hexagon socket head bolts
and firmly tighten them using the hex wrench
(nominal designation: 5).
(4) Insert the glass plate supplied with the P-SXY64 XY
Stage into the upper plate of the stage. The glass
plate has chamfered corners including one small
chamfered corner. Align the small chamfered corner
with the right rear side of the stage (as viewed from
the front) to fit the glass plate on the stage, and
tighten the glass plate fixing screw.
