When using an external color filter, first remove
any dust caps. Insert the filter slider (1) into the
filter holder. When filters are not in use, replace
the dust cap to prevent dust build up in the
filter slots.
The simple polarizer device includes the
polarizer and the analyzer. Remove any color
filters when using the polarizer.
Remove any dust caps, then insert the polarizer
(1) into the filter slot (2).
Remove the dust cap (3) from the analyzer slot
(4), insert the 360
⁰
rotating analyzer (3) or fixed
analyzer (5) into the analyzer slot (4) until it is
fully seated within the slot.
The polarizer and the analyzer are orthogonal
when the 360
⁰
rotating analyzer is in the zero
position, or when the fixed analyzer is used.
Dialing the rotatable analyzer drive plate (6) can
change the orthogonal state of the polarized
light.

Switching between brightfield and darkfield
observation is achieved by adjusting the BF/DF
adjusting pole. Push the pole in for brightfield
and pull the pole out for darkfield. When in
darkfield observation adjust the aperture
diaphragm and the view field diaphragm to the
largest position.
