Exchange for a C-EP support
The support length is 145 mm longer than standard when
the original support for this stand is exchanged for a C-EP
support. This is useful for attaching the focus mount to a
high position.

P-DF2 LED Dark Field Unit 2
This dark-field illumination unit has LEDs that are tilted and positioned like a ring. The unit is attached to the base or the base
of the stand. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the P-DF2 LED Dark Field Unit 2.

P2-POL Simple Polarizing Attachment
The P2-POL is a simple polarizing device that consists of the
polarizer section and the analyzer section.
Polarization microscopy is enabled by changing the orientation of
the polarizer built into the base or the stand and the orientation of
the analyzer attached to the objective tip.
The polarizer and analyzer have indicators which show the
orientation of the polarizing plate. Use the screw head at the
bottom plane of the analyzer rotating dial as the analyzer’s
indicator.
P2-POL Simple Polarizing Attachment
Directly placing the polarizer
When a polarizing attachment is used, the periphery may
become dark in the low zoom magnification range. To
reduce vignetting, remove the stage glass and directly
place the polarizer.
Use only the polarizer of the polarizer section. Drop the
polarizer into the position on the base or the stand where
the diffuser was removed. Use the original stage plate
supplied with the base or the stand.
The polarizer cannot be placed directly on the P2-DBF
Fiber Diascopic Illumination Base.
Restrictions
The P2-POL Simple Polarizing Attachment cannot be used with the
P2-SHR Plan Apo 1.6X or 2X objective.
The P2-SHR Plan Apo 1X objective supports the entire zoom area
and P2-SHR Plan Apo 0.5X objective supports 1x and larger zoom
area.
