11 Steps to Using a Polarizing Microscope
Polarizing microscope is a precise and valuable optical instrument, and it is also an indispensable and common tool in teaching and scientific research. If it is damaged, it will directly affect teaching and scientific research. Therefore, it should be maintained and cared for, and it should be consciously followed when using it. procedures.
(1) Check before use.
(2) The microscope should be used fixedly on the seat, which is not conducive to changing and moving the microscope at will. When moving and placing the microscope, the movement should be light and vibration should be strictly avoided, so as not to damage the optical system.

(8) When replacing the objective lens, be sure to hold the objective lens turntable to rotate it by hand, and do not directly hold the objective lens to rotate it by hand, so as not to rotate the objective lens.
(9) When using the upper polarizer and Bertrand mirror, do not push it violently to avoid shock damage.
(10) When the instrument is damaged or the adjustment fails, do not twist it forcefully.
(11) After using the microscope, push the upper polarizer and Bertrand lens in, turn the coarse hand wheel to lift the objective lens, leave an eyepiece on the lens barrel, turn off the power, and cover the instrument cover.
