Finally assembled a complete collection of AX slides.
Note how the polar filters are mounted at an angle.

Re: Olympus AX Slides
"polar filters are mounted at an angle" - what is the benefit of it ?
Re: Olympus AX Slides
Maybe it is for the same reason ZYGO tilted these parallel glass plates as shown here in figure 3 where a "small tilt angle for both plates directs unwanted reflections off axis, where they are blocked by internal apertures,..."
The BX slides do not have angles on them.

Re: Olympus AX Slides
So I'm still trying to get the hang of Fusion360's drawing option. But I got the AX-AN slide I think reasonably accurate.

Re: Olympus AX Slides
This is the AX-PO with an angled polarizer. Note the arrows in the pictures show alignment going the length of the slide, and that is the angle of rotation.
