Adjusting the Optical Axis
When Using the Intermediate Attachment for orthoscopic
observation (U-OPA)
(Figs. 19 & 20)
Make sure the 10X objective is inserted into the primary hole on
the centerable revolving nosepiece.
1. Fully insert the alignment polarizer @, provided with the U-OPA into the
test plate adapter (U-TAD). Tighten its clamping knob. (Fig. 19)
2. Remove the condenser.
3. Insert the rotatable analyzer (U-AN360P) ² into the analyzer slot on the
intermediate attachment. Engage the analyzer, loosen the clamping
screw and set the analyzer’s rotation dial ³ to 0°. (Fig. 19)
