Assembly for Sensitive Polarization Microscopy

Follow the procedure described in Section 2 "Assembly for Bright-field Microscopy" to perform assembly.
Note the following:
■ Attaching an analyzer tube for first-order red compensation
Attach an analyzer tube for first-order red compensation to
the microscope arm prior to the step 4, "Attach the tube."
Place the analyzer unit (analyzer tube for first-order red
compensation) on the arm so that the analyzer IN/OUT
knob is positioned to the right, and secure the analyzer unit
in place with the analyzer unit clamp screw.
Place the tube on the analyzer unit and tighten the tube
clamp screws of the analyzer unit using the tool provided
with the microscope to secure the tube.
Slider-type analyzer for first-order red
compensation
When using the C-AS Analyzer Slider for First-order Red
Compensation instead of an analyzer tube for first-order
red compensation, insert it into the analyzer slot of the
nosepiece.
■ Attaching a polarizer unit for first-order red compensation
Set the polarizer unit for first-order red compensation over the field lens on the base of the microscope. Make sure
the orientation mark on the polarizer comes to the front at this point and tighten the polarizer unit clamp screw.
The actual securing will take place after the orientation of the analyzer and polarizer has been adjusted in Step 16 of
the sensitive polarization microscopy procedure.
