4. Turn the polarizer knob Ⓗ under the condenser
to achieve maximum darkening of the eyepieces,
and then tighten the polarizer locking screw Ⓖ.
(Fig. 63)
5. Once the maximum darkening is achieved, re-
move the slider from the nosepiece, remove the
analyzer from the dummy slider and insert it into
the DIC prism. Now insert the DIC slider ⑥ into
the slot ⑤. (Fig. 64)
6. Rotate the condenser turret ⑦ to insert the DIC
prism matching the objective in use. (Fig. 65)

The condenser is supplied with magnetic
markers. Each marker is specific to the type
of insert mounted in the condenser (DIC, PH,
DF, etc.).
7. Put a specimen on the stage and focus.
8. Begin the observation by turning the knob on the
DIC slider ⑧ to obtain a three-dimensional effect
of the sample. (Fig. 66)
