Attachment For Vertical And Oblique Observation; Stages, Polarization - Leica M-Series User Manual

Attachment for vertical and oblique observation

• The attachment for vertical and oblique observation enables
spatial objects to be observed from above, and also from all
round at an angle of 45°.
• The microscope carrier must be fitted in the lower position 1
(page 18).
• For MS5, MZ6: Fit the 1.0 achromatic objective by screwing
its adapter ring directly into the optics carrier.
• Spacer rings are required for the Leica MZ7
and MZAPO in order to secure the attachment for vertical
and oblique observation to the optics carrier (page 16).
• Only usable with 1.0 achromatic objective.
Stages
The 120mm diam. stages can be used in those incident- and
transmitted-light stands which have a 120mm diam. port.
Gliding stage
The gliding stage can be moved in all directions and rotated
completely.

Place the 120mm diam. gliding
stage in the 120mm port and
secure it with the eccentric
lever.
Insert the 120mm diam. glass
stage plate or the black/white
stage plate.
Cup stage
• The cup stage can be inclined as required.
• You can secure objects to its rubberized upper surface
with needles.
• The movable holder accepts petri dishes.

Polarization, transmitted light
The analyzer, in combination with either the rotatable
polarization stage or the polarizer on glass stage plate, enables
double-refracting materials to be studied. These can include
organic crystals, mineral grains, thin sections of rock or bone,
polymers, stressed glass, and liquid crystals.
Place the 120mm diam. support
ring in the 120mm port.
Place the cup stage on it.
