Analyzer Slider

The analyzer slider can be used together with the polarizer
slider to enable simplified polarization microscopy.
Likewise, the analyzer slider can be combined with the
polarizer slider and DIC slider to perform DIC microscopy,
and with the polarizer slider and lambda plate slider to
perform sensitive polarization microscopy (with the LV-
UEPI2 only).
Placing the polarizer in the optical path
• For the LV-UEPI:
Remove the dummy slider at the front of the illuminator, and in its place, insert the analyzer slider
with its marking facing up. (p.51)
• For the LV-UEPI2:
Remove the horizontally oriented cover at the right side of the illuminator. Insert the analyzer slider
into the horizontal slot with its marking facing up. (p.51)
• Insertion to the optical path:
Pushing the analyzer slider in to the first clickstop position inserts the empty hole into the optical
path. Pushing it further in to the second clickstop position inserts the analyzer into the optical path.
* The orientation of the analyzer is as indicated by the arrow on the slider.

The analyzer has been removed out of the optical path (instead, the empty hole is now in the optical
path).
