Key Features & Advantages
- Trinocular design with camera port — view through eyepieces while capturing images
- Built-in 25 MP camera — for high-resolution imaging and data capture
- Polarizing optics for geology & mineralogy — analyze birefringence, interference colors, extinction
- Bertrand lens support — for conoscopic / interference figure observation
- Inclusion of compensation plates: ¼λ (quarter-wave) & full λ (full-wave) — essential for retardation analysis
- Stable mechanical stage, precise controls, and quality optics for lab use
Polarizing Geology / Mineralogy Microscope — Bertrand, ¼λ & Full λ Plates + 25 MP Camera
Designed for serious geological and mineralogical work, this trinocular polarizing microscope comes equipped with a built-in 10 MP camera, Bertrand lens capability, and compensation optics (¼λ & full λ). Ideal for birefringence, interference figure study, crystal orientation, and mineral identification.
Applications & Use Cases
- Mineralogy & petrology — study interference colors, extinction angles, birefringence
- Polarizing microscopy for thin sections — quantifying retardation using λ plates
