Polarizing Microscope — Circular Centering, Centrable Nosepiece, Bertrand Lens & λ Plates
A professional polarizing microscope designed for advanced optical mineralogy and petrography. It features a circular centering stage, centrable nosepiece, integrated Bertrand lens, and a full set of compensator plates (λ, ¼λ, 1–4λ) — making it ideal for orthoscopic and conoscopic studies.
Applications & Benefits
- Geology & Petrography: identify minerals, measure extinction angles, and observe optical properties in thin sections.
- Mineralogy: determine birefringence, pleochroism, and interference colors using compensator plates.
- Conoscopic Observation: Bertrand lens enables interference figure studies for uniaxial & biaxial minerals.
- Education & Research: versatile teaching tool for university geology and advanced mineralogy labs.
Key Features
- *Circular centering stage* — 360° rotation with smooth centering adjustments
- *Centrable nosepiece* — aligns each objective precisely to the optical axis
- *Bertrand lens* — built-in, allows conoscopic imaging and interference figure observation
- *Compensator plates included* — λ, ¼λ, and 1–4λ for birefringence & retardation studies
- Polarizer & analyzer integrated for full polarizing microscopy
- High-quality optics with anti-reflection and anti-fungus coatings
- Supports both orthoscopic & conoscopic modes of observation
