Re-alignment of polarizers
FluoroMax
®
-3 autopolarizers may be aligned using a software routine called
Polarizer
Alignment
in
Experiment Setup
.
Using Polarizer Alignment
This routine automatically calibrates autopolarizers. Use a sample of LUDOX
®
or gly-
cogen to run the alignment routine. The software rotates the polarizers in 1° increments
and locates the optimal positions for each autopolarizer. After completion, the anisot-
ropy for the scattering solution is measured and displayed for user approval of the
alignment. If approved, the new calibration positions are saved in the sample-
compartment initialization file, and a log file,
POLAR.LOG
, is saved with the results of
the calibration procedure. Otherwise, the previous calibration positions are still used.
