If a specimen is placed on the circular rotat-

recommended t o hold the peripheries of the

specimen with the stage clips provided.

2) Swing in the condenser top lens, and bring

the specimen into focus.

position, rotate the polarizer rotation ring

until the optimum extinction is obtained,

then clamp the ring. (Fig. 12)
