The dia-polarizer
rotates
3600,
and can be
detached
from
the
substage by pulling
downward.
(Fig. 25)
For
attaching
the dia-polarizer,
push it
with
the
pin
on the
dia-polarizer
into
coincidence with the groove at the position
o
of 0 on the bottom of the substage.
11) Filters
Put the filter with the frame into the filter
receptacle
between the
microscope
base
and the lamp housing. The accessory filters
are as shown below:

ring, the left-hand side clamp being releas-
ed.

The analyzer
can be taken

1 2) Lowering the substage
Releasing the clamp screw using a screw
driver, as shown in Fig. 27, permits lower-
ing the substage as far as 32mm from the
observing
position
beyond
the
moving
stroke of the focusing device.
So, the microscope
makes it possible to
examine
the
thicker
specimens
(mainly
in episcopic
polarizing
microscopy)
and
to use the universal stage.
13) Illumination system
The optical system for illumination
in the
OPTIPHOT-POL
microscope is constructed
to fulfill
the Koehler illumination
require-
ments
perfectly,
and
offers
a
bright,
uniform
field
without
any change-over
manipulation.
Halogen lamp 12V-50W
(OSRAM
64610
or PH I LIPS 7027) is used as a Iight source.
