New Portable Polarising Microscope Introduced

Oct 28 2015

This new microscope design will enable research-grade analysis outside the laboratory. Developed after years of applied research, and tests of nearly every available field microscope, it was devised to be portable, but still ergonomically convenient and not too small to allow convenient operation. As opposed to most other field microscopes it complies with modern standards, being binocular and having modern high quality optics. Still, it is self-sustained with the special LED illumination supplying bright white light and over 20 hours of work on the three AAA batteries. It is also highly versatile to allow different applications such as polarisation and phase contrast. Last, it is very reasonably priced for what it offers, as opposed to any past effective field microscope.

Polarising microscopes are used in the study of thin sections of minerals and rocks as well as other anisotropic materials (fibres, plastics, etc.). The optical system is similar to that of other modern compound microscopes but it is equipped with additional appliances. The most distinctive features are the polariser and analyser, rotatable stage and accessory filters. This special equipment allows the evaluation of properties and characteristics of materials that cannot be measured by other microscopical methods.
