This polarizing
microscope kit is useful for polarized light applications
such as transparent mineral thin-section analysis
and asbestos analysis. It comes with a 45 degree
inclined 360 degree rotatable trinocular head,
coarse & fine focusing, 20W transmitted halogen
illumination, and a 5MP USB digital microscope
camera and software. The polarizing filter can
be swung out of the light path for an unpolarized
light source. The microscope has a quadruple revolving
nosepiece with center adjustable objectives and
a rotatable circular stage. It has a built-in
focusable Bertrand lens on rotatable disc with
centering controls. The kit includes three compensator
plates for installation into the Bertrand lens.
The built-in analyzer can be removed from optical
path. One of the 10x eyepieces comes equipped
with a crossline reticle, which is useful for
measurements and centering.
The digital camera
captures still microscope images, streams live
video preview to your computer, and is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (see below for version information). The 0.5X
reduction lens included gives your computer screen
a wider field of view. The user-friendly software
for Windows offers advanced features including
Stitching, EDF (Extended Depth of Focus), video
recording, and measurement functions. Live video
and still image capture can be set in different
resolutions simultaneously.
As with all of our microscopes, this microscope comes with a 5 year manufacturer warranty.
