Introduction
The PriorLux POL upright compound polarised light microscope is a high quality instrument
equipped with high resolution, chromatically corrected strain-free optics for excellent image
quality in polarised light applications. The robust construction and hard wearing materials
ensure long lasting and trouble free operation. The instrument can be used with a number of
supplied accessories including ¼ and compensation plates, quartz wedge, attachable
mechanical XY stage and eyepiece graticule with stage micrometer.
For documentation the instrument is available with a trinocular head which permits mounting
of a video or digital camera system.

Unpacking
The PriorLux POL is shipped in protective bags within a pre-formed container. Each
component should be carefully unpacked and checked, cutting rather than tearing the plastic
bags. The head (binocular or trinocular) should be fitted to the dovetail on top of the stand
and locked in place with the head locking screw. The eyepieces then just drop into the
eyepiece tubes at the front of the head, these should be pushed in as far as they will go.
Remove each objective lens from its protective "pot" and screw into the free positions on the
nosepiece. Move the stage and the condenser carrier to the highest position and insert the
condenser from underneath with the diaphragm control facing to the front. This is locked in
position with the clamping screw, which is fitted from the side.
