Description
Map anisotropic stress fractures in aerospace composites and coal petrography samples with the Euromex iScope IS.1052-PLPOLRi Polarizing Microscope binocular research system. Operating with infinity-corrected IOS optics, it provides 50x, 100x, 200x, and 500x magnification through four stress-free Plan PLPOLi objectives: 5x/0.12, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, and 50x/0.75. Dual light sources—a 100W epi-reflected halogen housing on the vertical tower and a 3W transmitted NeoLED base illuminator—allow comprehensive surface and sub-surface crystal analysis.
The 30-degree inclined binocular head carries paired high-eyepoint EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces, including an integrated crosshair reticle target line for measuring extinction positions. Its 160 mm circular stage rotates 360 degrees continuously, graduated to 1 degree with a 0.1-degree nonius vernier scale. The intermediate module houses a centerable Bertrand lens for conoscopic interference checks, supported by 1-lambda tint, 1/4-lambda retardation, and quartz wedge test plates. Weighing 10.5 kg, the rigid cast frame features coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs calibrated to 1.4-micron increments.
Key Features of Euromex iScope IS.1052-PLPOLRi Polarizing Microscope
An upright binocular polarizing materials microscope designed for ore microscopy, coal petrography, and aerospace composite audits. Combines 100W incident halogen and 3W transmitted NeoLED lighting with stress-free Plan optics and a Bertrand lens.
- Dual illumination: 100W epi-reflected halogen housing plus 3W transmitted NeoLED
- Stress-free Plan PLPOLi IOS objectives: 5x, 10x, 20x, and 50x for clean extinction
- Circular 160 mm stage with 360-degree continuous rotation and 0.1-degree vernier scale
- Integrated Bertrand lens with centerable focus for orthoscopic and conoscopic observation
- Intermediate compensator slot loaded with 1-lambda tint, 1/4-lambda, and quartz wedge
- Paired high-eyepoint EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces with crosshair target reticle in one tube
- Coaxial focus mechanics with 1.4-micron graduations and adjustable travel rack stop
- Heavy 10.5 kg metal chassis provides complete vibration-free benchtop stability
Dual-Source Polarizing Illumination & Stress-Free Optics
Opaque minerals and metal alloys require intense reflected light to reveal grain boundaries, while transparent mineral thin sections demand transmitted polarization. This hybrid illumination system handles both: the 100W halogen epi-illuminator cuts through dark ore polished sections, while the 3W NeoLED base lamp illuminates crystalline rock wafers. Stress-free Plan objectives eliminate internal glass birefringence, giving geologists and metallurgists pure black extinction under crossed polarizers.
Conoscopic Bertrand Analysis & 360-Degree Vernier Stage
Evaluating optic sign and crystal biaxiality is straightforward using the built-in Bertrand lens: slide it into the optical corridor to project clear conoscopic interference figures directly into the widefield EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces. The crosshair reticle in the right eyepiece aligns with the stage’s 0.1-degree vernier scale, letting petrographers measure optical extinction angles with high accuracy. Individual objective centering screws on the quadruple nosepiece keep targets centered while the stage rotates.
- Integrated Bertrand lens provides instant toggling between orthoscopic and conoscopic views
- Precision 0.1-degree vernier stage enables accurate crystal extinction angle calculations
- Reversed nosepiece with individual objective centering ensures true rotational concentricity
