A
Engage SZX2-CPO (polarization plate cartridge) in the light path.
Rotate the analyzer rotation collar A to move the field of view to the
position where it is completely dark (crossed nicols). (Remove the
sample in advance.)

Crossed nicols status
Place the sample on the stage glass and rotate the sample to perform
the polarization observation.
· You can also observe the sample by rotating U-SRP or U-SRG2.
· When observing the birefringent substance, a certain area of
the sample becomes dark or bright depending on the rotation
of the sample.

Using SZX2-CSH (Shade plate cartridge)
The transmitted simple polarization observation is available by combining SZX2-AN (Analyzer). You can check the transmitted
polarization properties (birefringence, polarization property) easily.
For reflected fluorescence observation, engage SZX2-CSH (Shade plate cartridge) in the light path.
·
Do not perform the fluorescence observation with the dummy cap in the light path. The dummy cap may
be deformed by the illumination light of the fluorescence observation.
·
If you engage the illumination cartridge other than SZX2-CSH (Shade plate cartridge) in the light path,
do not collect the illumination light during fluorescence observation onto the illumination cartridge.
The performance of the illumination cartridge may be deteriorated.
