Note
You can usually obtain the greatest contrast by rotating the knobs
until the image is black and white (without visible color).
Infrared polarization
If you are interested in obtaining information that is specific to
sample orientation, that
gives precise information about the
molecular structure and molecular orientation of a sample, or that is
specific to polarization angle you can use the microscope to conduct
polarized studies of infrared data.
An optional wire-grid infrared polarizer can be installed in the
nosepiece of the microscope and used for both transmission and
reflection experiments.
1. Loosen the thumbscrew and slide the purge baffle out of the
objective.
