With the use of the Vernier scale, rotations can be measured to an accuracy of 0.1° (an experienced user can potentially achieve accuracy of 0.05°). The rugged design allows for heavy use at the instructional level.
Measurements are made by rotating the Vernier scale disc with the coarse/fine controls; which, in turn, adjusts the analyzer. The large diameter of the Vernier scale disc allows for highly sensitive comparisons of half shadows resulting in accuracy typically not possible with manual polarimeters. The optical assembly (vernier scale disc, polarizer, analyzer, and sample compartment) is tilted 15° from horizontal. This results in more convenient and comfortable operation.
The polarizer is fitted with a thin, high-quality, two-part quartz disc with produces the divided (two half shadows) field of view. When the two half shadows are viewed during measurements, right-shadow shading indicates a dextrorotary sample and left-side shading indicates a levorotatory sample.
