DIC components To set cross Nichols: only include polarizer and analyser in the optical path. (Find a slot without any prism on condenser and objective, swing out compensator) Remove the eyepiece and you should be able to see this: Analyser Shear prism at objective Wollaston prism at condenser Senormont compensator Polarizer Compensator – maintains the cross Nichols Polarizer – changes the contrast. compensator Set screw for adjusting cross Nichols
