8.1  Polarization unit (transmitted light)  

 

The polarization unit consists of a polarizer and an analyzer. 

The same slide that is part of the incident light unit is used as the analyzer (

see figure 

on page 8

).  

The polarizer is a round element with a black frame and a dark glass pane in the 

middle. It is simply placed on the ring holder of the field lens (

see illustration

). 

 

 

 

 

 

For the subsequent use of the polarization unit, two points must be observed: 

 

  The aperture setting of the condenser must be in position 

PH.

 

 

  For its initial position, the polarizer or analyzer must be rotated to the position 

where the highest degree of darkness is perceived in the field of view (without 

specimen).
