1. Picture 17 Analyser in an intermediate tube ll The use of the cold light device allows a further variant A polarizer or analyser which is mounted in front of the split ring light illumi nator allows observations with polarization at uniform illuminated objects 4 10 Transmitted light polarization There are different variants of investigation for polarization in transmitted light illumination analogue to incident light illumination for the analyser for the variants and Il A filter pusher formed like an intermediate tube includes two parallekaligned polarization fil ters which can be pushed to the left side in the path of the light beam with the help of one of the two knobs The microscope must not be retocused when observing with or without a polarization filler It is possible to insert com pensators for the determination of path differ ences on double refracting materials or of rota tions of the polarization level According to in tended use a tipping or rotating compensator inside the two guides on the right side of the tilter pusher can be inserted diagonally to one ot the polarizers 4 10 1 A polarization filter insertable in the turntable serves as a polarizer Screw this into the turntable so that the markings on it agree with those on the turntable When using it in combination with the filter pusher align it to the darkening while looking through the bin ocular tube and fasten it with both screws2. 8 Intermediate tubes For an assembly of all intermediate tubes it is necessary to remove the binocular tube from the middle part of the microscope first Loosen the knurled screw at the middle part of the microscope lift the front of the binocular tube and remove it diagonally from above Now insert the back edge of the right tube When doing this make sure that the guiding screw on the back of the tube mount catches the nut on the tube Now tighten the knurled screw again After that the binocular tube can be assembled on the intermediate tube in the same wise 8 1 Intermediate tube for O 90 or 30 60 observation Use these intermediate tubes if the observation angle of 45 should be altered The observa tion can be exactly horizontally or vertically formed with the intermediate tube O 90 Accordingly the intermediate tube 30 60 enables an observation angle of 30 or 60 The corresponding intermediate tube is set up normally or turned at 180 between the micro scope middle part and the binocular tube ac cording to the desired observation angle Picture 30 Intermediate tubes 2 8 2 Intermediate tube 50 50 The trinocular tube 50 50 is placed between the middle part of the microscope and the bin ocular tube The trinocular tube is designed like an intermediate tube It detracts 50 of the light from every path of the light beam in or der to utilize this light tor other purposes e g photography
