If you would like to use this slide with a different microscope - carefully check the dimensions shown in the photographs.
Note - there is some confusion in commonly used terminology and foreign or even incorrect names are often used. The most common mistake is that the analyzer is referred to as a polarizer - and unfortunately this mistake is so widespread that it has to be taken into account. Examples of names used by microscope users include:
- polarizer
- polariser
- polarization filter
- polarising filter
- POL filter
- circular polariser
- CPL filter
- analyzer
- analyser
- analyzer slide
- analyzer filter
- POL analyzer
- polarization analyser
- polarization analyzer
This slide has two positions:
- for brightfield operation (zero glass with anti-reflection coating)
- for polarized light operation (rotatable polarization filter).
In the photo gallery you will find the exact dimensions of this slide, and the last photograph contains an excerpt from the Zetopan microscope manual showing this component. Additionally, the attached video demonstrates the filter rotation mechanism operated by the vernier scale.
