Re-alignment of polarizers
®
FluoroMax -4 autopolarizers may be
aligned using a software routine called Po-
larizer Alignment in Experiment Setup.
Using Polarizer Alignment
This routine automatically calibrates autopolarizers. Use a sample of Ludox
gen to run the alignment routine. The software rotates the polarizers in 1° increments
and locates the optimal positions for each autopolarizer. After completion, the anisotro-
py for the scattering solution is measured and displayed for user approval of the align-
ment. If approved, the new calibration positions are saved in the sample-compartment
initialization file, and a log file, POLAR.LOG, is saved with the results of the calibra-
tion procedure. Otherwise, the previous calibration positions are still used.
