6.8Polarizer and analyzer Transmitted light polarizer: ICT/P

•Using the left clamping screw, fasten the ICT/P transmitted light polarizer to the underside of the condenser holder (Fig. 27).

•Make sure that the red index point on the front of the polarizer is at 0.

•If necessary, insert the compensators (λ-, λ/4 plates or elliptical compensators) into the po- larizer’s receptacle (Fig. 28) or into the com- pensation slot.

Incident light polarizers:

R/P polarizer, rotating polarizer,

L/ICR polarizer, R/ICR polarizer

•Remove the plug cap on the right side of the incident light axis (Fig. 29).

•Insert the polarizer into the receptacle until it locks into place.

!Caution:

Push the polarizer into the front receptacle only.

Motorized polarizer

•A motorized polarizer is already installed and ready for operation in the DIC condenser.
