Using the Polarizer/Analyzer 

(Fig. 22)

 

 

The simple polarizer includes the polarizer and 
analyzer.  
 
Remove the stage insert plate 

 (see Fig. 8, p. 3). 

 
Insert the polarizer 

 with the flat edge closest to 

the column (or aligned with the spring on the inside of 
the hole in the base)

and screw it in place using the 

3mm hex wrench.  Replace the stage insert plate. 
 
Slide the analyzer 

③ 

onto the bottom outside 

diameter of the objective 

④ 

and tighten the analyzer 

lock screw 

 

 

With the 360° rotating analyzer, you can change the 
orthogonal state of the polarized light by rotating the 
analyzer adjustment ring
