Polarizing observation for wide-area retardation measurement.
With the U-CPA conoscopic observation attachment, the changeover between orthoscopic and conoscopic observation methods is simple and quick — just slide the Bertrand lens control knob in or out.
UPLFL-P series objectives, designed for observation under polarizing light, can be used with the revolving nosepiece U-P4RE, which provides a centering function, and the special polarizing light condenser U-POC-2. Also available as an option is the sextuple revolving nosepiece U-P6RE, which allows perfect alignment of the light path among 3 objectives.

The circular rotatable stage has two
centering knobs and allows smooth sample rotation.
By setting a click stop every 45 degrees, it enables accurate observation
and measurement.

Mounting an attachable cross-movement mechanical stage (U-FMP) onto the circular rotatable stage makes for improved observation efficiency. Interference between the mechanical stage and the objectives is eliminated, so that images of superb quality can be effortlessly observed at all objective magnification.
| Compensator | Measurement range | Applications |
|---|---|---|

| Berek (U-CBE) | 0-1,640nm (3λ) | Measurement of retardation level (crystals, macromolecules, living organisms, etc.) |
| Senarmont compensator (U-CSE) | 0-546nm (1λ) | Measurement of retardation level (crystals, living organisms, etc.) Enhancement of image contrast (living organisms, etc.) |
| Brace-Koehler compensator 1/10λ (U-CBR1) | 0-55nm (1/10λ) | Measurement of low retardation level (living organisms, etc.) |
| Brace-Koehler compensator 1/30λ (U-CBE2) | 0-20nm (1/30λ) | Enhancement of image contrast (living organisms, etc.) |
| Quartz wedge (U-CWE2) | 500-2,200nm (4λ) | Approximate measurement of retardation level (crystal, macromolecules, etc.) |
