Characteristics
Attach the D-DA analyzer slider to the sextuple
revolving nosepiece (D-ND6) to perform the simplified
polarization microscopy under the diascopic
illumination.
The D-DA analyzer is not required when the
polarizer/analyzer unit (MA2-PA/MA-UPA) is attached
to the microscope during the simplified polarization
microscopy under the diascopic illumination.
Two slots are provided on the front of the revolving
nosepiece. Insert the D-DA analyzer slider with the
nameplate facing down into the slot (with "A"
indicated) far from the objective. When it hits the
second click-stop position, the analyzer enters the
optical path.
Pull out the D-DA analyzer slider. When it hits the first
click-stop position, the analyzer is removed from the
optical path to enter the dummy hole.
The analyzer direction is set to the backward or front
of the microscope.
