Radical Polarizing Petrographic Microscope — Rotating Stage, Bertrand Lens & λ Plates
High-quality laboratory polarizing microscope designed for geology, mineralogy, and petrographic applications. With a rotatable graduated stage, integrated Bertrand lens, and λ plates, this instrument is built for detailed optical analysis of thin sections, minerals, and crystals.
Applications & Benefits
- Geology & Petrography: identify minerals, measure extinction angles, and study interference figures in thin sections.
- Mineralogy labs: evaluate birefringence, pleochroism, and crystal orientation using polarizer, analyzer, and λ plates.
- Teaching & Education: demonstrate optical mineralogy principles to geology students using Bertrand lens & interference plates.
- Research: capture conoscopic images and optical data for publications and documentation.
Key Features
- Polarizer & analyzer integrated for polarizing optics
- Rotating graduated stage with centering mechanism (360° rotation)
- Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation of interference figures
- λ (lambda) plates included for optical mineralogy demonstrations
- Semi-plan objectives with wide-field eyepieces (flat field & clarity)
