Description

Polarization microscopy will serve you best if you want to investigate crystalline structures. As a researcher or someone in quality assurance, you can use our polarization microscopes to observe minerals, plastics, polymers, drugs, pharmaceuticals, pigments, and cement. This will help you focus on the areas that interest you the most.

You need a few components to get what you aim for in polarization. These are the most important:

• Strain-free optics because you need to be sure that the observed birefringence results from the sample and not from the optics
• LED illumination is crucial because it lights the samples homogenously and at a constant colour temperature
• Polarizers will make birefringence visible, and a rotatable stage enables you to align the sample and optical axis
• You need a Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation of the optical axis and compensators for measurement tasks

There will be Light!

LED illumination saves you money in many ways: It consumes less energy than halogen illumination and does not need to be replaced, causing downtime of your instrument because it has a lifetime of up to 25,000 hours. Further advantages:

• LED lights your samples homogeneously and at a constant colour temperature, providing you with a realistic impression of your sample
• LED adjusts light intensity fast so you can work smoothly
• LED requires no daylight filter since the LED already provides a constant light temperature of 4500 K
• LED produces little heat and therefore  does not need a cooling fan
• LED lets you work undisturbed because no cooling fan makes a noise around you

In education, you need a robust tool that students can use daily. You can easily plug and play it – that’s what we call the best preconditions for successful learning.

• Get into the details of your samples with 4 objectives
• Use the 20-mm field of view for a good overview
• Enjoy the practical details the instrument offers: You can carry it by its handle and stow away its cable inside the instrument
