Polarizer Slider (for the Episcopic Illumination)

Polarizer sliders

The three polarizer sliders as shown below can be used for the product.

Polarizer

LV-PO polarizer

LV-UPO polarizer

LV-UVPO UV polarizer

• LV-PO polarizer

For the simplified polarization microscopy under the episcopic illumination, use the polarizer with

the analyzer slider. For the sensitive color polarization microscopy under the episcopic illumination,

use the polarizer with the analyzer slider and the lambda plate slider.

When the motorized universal quintuple nosepiece (LV-NU5A or LV-NU5AC) is attached, the

prism slide method of the DIC microscopy under the episcopic illumination can be performed by

using the polarizer with the analyzer slider and the DIC slider.

• LV-UPO polarizer (equipped with the 1/4 lambda plate)

The LV-UPO is used to perform the Senarmont method of DIC microscopy when used with the

analyzer and the DIC slider. The contrast of the DIC contrast image can be adjusted with the

polarizer orientation.

• LV-UVPO UV polarizer

The polarizer is used to change the excitation light to a linearly polarized light for the epi-fl

microscopy under the UV excitation light. As the polarizer deteriorates over time, change it if

necessary.

Application

Polarization microscopy under the episcopic

illumination (simplified/sensitive color)

DIC microscopy under the episcopic

illumination (prism slide method)

DIC microscopy under the episcopic

illumination (Senarmont method)

Epi-fl microscopy

Remark

Equipped with the 1/4

lambda plate
