2 Attaching the DIC Optical Elements (Fig. 59)
}The attaching method is identical to that for the phase contrast optical
elements (pages 33-34), except that the positioning pin and positioning
groove should be aligned when attaching each DIC optical element.
· Align the positioning index @ on the DIC prism with the positioning in-
dex ² on a turret position and insert the DIC prism all the way into the
turret position so that the DIC prism’s frame hits the bottom of the posi-
tion and the prism’s positioning pin fits into the pin hole. When inserting,
push the spring ³ inside the turret slightly sideward.
# Be careful not to touch the DIC prism area inside the frame.
# Do not tighten the optical element centering knobs too much, for
this may deform the frame of the optical element.
3 Attaching the Analyzer and DIC Slider (Figs. 60 to 62)
With the U-DICT DIC Slider
1. Remove the dummy slider from the revolving nosepiece.
2. Align the index @ 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. 60)
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 |.
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
observation, 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 slider in place of the ana-
lyzer.
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 ƒ so that the side with indication faces up, and
insert the analyzer into the analyzer insertion slot … 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.
