REFLECTED LIGHT DIC AND SIMPLIFIED

POLARIZED LIGHT OBSERVATIONS

(Note) The modules required for simplified polarized light observation are the MX-AFDIC analyzer slot, U-AN analyzer and U-

PO3 polarizer.

DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) observation is possible by adding the U-DICR series of DIC slider to the above

combinations.

# The performance of the polarizer may deteriorate when it has been exposed to light for a long period (about

continuous 2000 hours). If this happens, replace the polarizer.

# When using the high-intensity light source, be sure to use the U-25L42 UV cut filter for prevention of the

polarizer burn.

Setting the Analyzer and Polarizer

1. Insert the U-AN analyzer ² in the analyzer insertion slot of the analyzer

slot unit @ so that the analyzer's surface with indication faces upward.

(The analyzer can also be inserted through the slot on the other side of

the unit.)

2. Insert the U-PO3 polarizer ³ so that the surface with indication comes

on the front.

}An approximate cross-Nicol position for the simplified polarized observation

can be obtained when both the analyzer and polarizer are engaged in

the light path. In this condition, polarized light observation can be started

immediately after placing a specimen.

Setting the DIC Slider

1. Loosen the mounting knob @ on the front of the DIC revolving nosepiece,

insert the DIC slider ² so that the surface with indication faces up, and

clamp by tightening the mounting knob.

2. With the U-DICR interference slider, set the slide lever ³ according to the

objective in use.
