We are constantly endeavouring to improve our instruments and to adapt them to the requirements of
modern research techniques and testing methods. This involves modification to the mechanical
structure and optical design of our instruments.
Therefore, all descriptions and illustrations in this instruction manual, including all specifications are
subject to change without notice.
Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this instruction manual, if you note any
points that are unclear or inaccurate, please contact Motic agency or our Technical Service directly.

Introduction
Polarizing microscopes are used in the study of thin sections of minerals and rocks as well as other
anisotropic materials (fibers, plastics, etc.). The optical system is similar to that of modern compound
microscopes.
The most distinctive features of a polarizing microscope are the rotatable stage, polarizer and analyzer,
Bertrand lens system as well as mica plate, gypsum plate and quartz wedge. This special equipment
allows the evaluation of properties and characteristics of materials that cannot be measured by other
microscope methods.

3. Assembling the microscope
3.1 Verifying input voltage
The automatic voltage selection works with a broad range of settings. However, always use a power
cord that is rated for the voltage used in your area and that has been approved to meet local safety
standards. Using the wrong power cord could cause fire or equipment damage.
When using an extension cord, only use a power supply cord with a protective earth (PE) wire.
In order to prevent electric shock, always turn the switch on the power supply off before connecting
the power cord.
