to achieve maximum darkening of the eyepieces,
and then tighten the polarizer locking screw Ⓖ.
(Fig. 69)
5. Once the maximum darkening is found, remo-
ve 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. 70)
