This is description of this part:
C-type slider with a 1/4 Lambda polarizing filter, i.e., a quarter-wave plate (quarter-wave glass). The exact dimensions are shown in the photos.
It originally came from an EPI-POL illuminator for the Carl Zeiss Jena NU microscope, but as far as I know, the same sliders are compatible with the polarizing kit for the Carl Zeiss Jena Lg, NF, and Polmi-A polarizing microscopes. It's very possible it fits other configurations I'm not aware of, or even microscopes from other manufacturers.
What is this part needed for?
- If you're missing this slidefrom your existing set
- If you have this slide, but it's damaged (e.g., delamination)
- If you want to use this quarter-wave plate for other DIY purposes
