PZO MPI-3 polarizer not rotating

#1 Post by WaterGoblin » Thu May 25, 2023 3:40 pm

On my PZO MPI-3 interference head, the gray wheel to rotate the polarizer seems to be stuck, I also tried to look at my monitor through it and rotate the entire thing and unlike with regular polarizers nothing changes. I don't think that the person who sold it to me disassembled it and took out the polarizer or something but IDK what to do...

I still haven't been able to test the KPI-2 and MPI-3 because the KIP-2 doesn't fit correctly into my current microscope, so I will be able to test in a few weeks

"The polarizer on these is usually delaminated but you can easily get other polarizers anyway"
