4.12.2 LV-DIC/LV-DIHC slider (Senarmont method)
Attach the DIC slider in Senarmont method to the D-ND6 revolving nosepiece.
1 Select the slider (A or B) corresponding to the
objective to be used (refer to 3.16)
2 Insert the slider into the slot corresponding to the
position of the objective. Push the slider into the
limit to place the DIC prism in the optical path.
3 If you do not want to use the DIC slider, remove it
from the revolving nosepiece.
4.12.3 D-DA analyzer slider, D-LP λ plate
Attach the D-DA analyzer and the D-LP λ plate to the D-ND6 revolving nosepiece.
Two slots are provided for the revolving nosepiece.
Insert the analyzer slider into the slot (indicated with
“A”) far from the objective, and insert the λ plate into
the slot (indicated with “λ”) near the objective.
Insert these two sliders with their nameplates down.
When the sliders hit the second click-stop position,
the analyzer or D-LP λ plate enters the optical path.
Pull them out to the first click-stop position, and the
dummy hole enters the optical path.
* These sliders are designed to perform the
simplified polarization microscopy under the
diascopic illumination. Insert the dummy slider into
the slot for other microscopy as these sliders are
not required.
