Au démarrage, si la pression de l'accumulateur a trop baissé, celui-ci sera rechargé par l'électropompe avec le fluide recueilli dans la réserve auxiliaire. De préférence, l'électropompe comporte une pompe à débit constant associée à un moteur électrique à vitesse variable. Ainsi, le débit ne dépend pas des conditions de pression régnant en amont et en aval de la pompe, de sorte que l'on peut ajuster le débit par un contrôle du moteur simplifié. 4, record 2, French, - pompe%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9bit%20constant

Une détermination plus précise, mais d’une application généralement inutile dans la pratique courante, peut se faire à l'aide du "comparateur de Michel-Lévy". Dans cet appareil, au moyen d’un prisme à réflexion totale, on juxtapose à l'image de la section considérée celle d’une lame de quartz, parallèle à l'axe et d’épaisseur variable donnée par la graduation de l'appareil; cette image est produite dans un petit microscope auxiliaire polarisant, qui constitue le comparateur proprement dit. En faisant varier l'épaisseur du quartz, on modifie la teinte de polarisation du comparateur; d’autre part, en faisant tourner la lame auxiliaire par rapport aux sections principales des nicols du comparateur, on fait varier l'intensité de cette teinte de polarisation en la diminuant si, au maximum, elle est supérieure à celle de l'image de la section à étudier dans le champ du microscope. Dans le cas contraire, on diminue l'intensité de la teinte de polarisation de cette section en tournant convenablement la platine du microscope. On peut ainsi arriver à égaliser rigoureusement la teinte de comparaison à celle de la section étudiée, aussi bien comme coloration que comme intensité. 1, record 4, French, - comparateur%20de%20Michel%2DL%C3%A9vy
