Description
Determine mineral birefringence and petrographic rock structures under polarized light using the Euromex iScope IS.1053-PLPOLi Polarizing Microscope transmitted-light research platform. Powered by an infinity-corrected IOS optical system, it delivers 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification. The quadruple revolving nosepiece holds four stress-free Plan PLPOLi objectives: 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, spring-loaded 40x/0.65, and spring-loaded 100x/1.25 oil immersion, each fitted with individual centering screws to ensure rotational concentricity.
Transmitted light is supplied by an energy-efficient 3W NeoLED base lamp focused through a height-adjustable Abbe 1.25 NA condenser with an integrated rotatable polarizer lens frame. The 30-degree inclined trinocular head features an integrated light path selector slider and a vertical 23.2 mm camera port for digital image capture. The 160 mm circular stage rotates 360 degrees continuously, graduated to 1 degree with a 0.1-degree vernier scale. An intermediate housing includes a focusable Bertrand lens and slots for 1-lambda, 1/4-lambda, and quartz wedge compensators across an 8.6 kg cast frame.
Key Features of Euromex iScope IS.1053-PLPOLi Polarizing Microscope
A transmitted-light trinocular polarizing microscope built for petrographic thin-section analysis, polymer birefringence, and mineral photography. Features four stress-free Plan objectives up to 1000x oil, a 160 mm rotating vernier stage, and a Bertrand lens.

Stress-Free Transmitted Polarizing Optics & 1000x Oil Immersion
Analyzing interference colors in rock thin sections requires optics that contribute zero internal strain birefringence. These Plan PLPOLi objectives provide total extinction across crossed polarizers, allowing petrographers to accurately identify quartz, feldspar, and amphibole minerals using the Michel-Levy chart. The 100x oil immersion lens provides the high resolving power needed to inspect minute mineral inclusions and micro-crystalline textures.
Conoscopic Bertrand Analysis & Trinocular Camera Output
Swapping between standard orthoscopic viewing and conoscopic interference figures takes seconds: slide the centerable Bertrand lens into the light path to observe isogyres and melatopes directly through the EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces. The crosshair reticle target line pairs with the stage’s 0.1-degree nonius vernier to measure exact crystal extinction positions. The vertical photo port lets you route optical data directly to digital camera sensors for publication-grade petrographic logs.
- Integrated Bertrand lens provides instant toggling between orthoscopic and conoscopic views
- Vertical camera channel allows high-resolution petrographic micro-photography logging
- Individual objective centering blocks maintain perfect target alignment during stage rotation
