Attaching the Analyzer and DIC Slider

(Figs. 45 to 47)

With the U-DICT DIC Slider

1. Remove the dummy slider from the revolving nosepiece.
2. Align the index 1 of the U-ANT analyzer and the positioning groove 2 of

the U-DICT DIC slider and drop the analyzer into the analyzer mount of
the DIC slider. (Fig. 45)

3. Hold the U-DICT 3 so that the side with indication faces down, insert it

into the revolving nosepiece, and tighten the clamping knob 4.

With the U-DICTS/U-DICTHC/U-DICTHR DIC Slider

}The U-ANT analyzer cannot be mounted on these sliders. Use the IX2-AN

analyzer with them.
In case of simultaneous observation with reflected fluorescence obser-
vation, the use of the IX2-AN can make the observation brighter because
it does not cause drop in the excitation light from the principles.

}It is also possible to use the IX2-MDICT DIC mirror unit in place of the

analyzer.
However, the U-MDICT3 that looks similar to the IX2-MDICT cannot be
used because the analyzer’s oscillation direction is different.

1. Hold the IX2-AN analyzer 5 so that the side with indication faces up, and

insert the analyzer into the analyzer insertion slot 6 until it clicks.

2. Hold the DIC slider so that the side with indication faces down, and insert

it in the same way as the U-DICT.

Attaching the Polarizer (IX-LWPO)

(Fig. 48)

# The polarizer can be mounted only on the IX2-LWUCDA2 or IX2-LWUCD.
}This polarizer has been designed for being mounted on a universal con-

denser in case of DIC observation or simplified polarizer light observation.

1. Loosen the polarizer clamping screw 1 using the Allen screwdriver.
2. Align the pin hole on the condenser with the positioning pin 2 on the

condenser, and insert the polarizer unit into the upper part of the con-
denser.

3. Tighten the polarizer clamping screw firmly.
