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.
