More than one analyzer can be used in a setup like that in the following figure, each analyzer following the previous one. Suppose that the transmission axis of the first analyzer is rotated 26° relative to the transmission axis of the polarizer, and that the transmission axis of each additional analyzer is rotated 26° relative to the transmission axis of the previous one.

Each disk is labeled with an angle measured clockwise from the vertical. The first disk that the arrow passes through has angle ?1, the second disk has angle ?2, and the third disk has angle ?3.
