The Optika B-510POL is a trinocular polarizing microscope for quantitative polarized light observation in transmitted light. It carries IOS W-PLAN POL objectives from 4x to 40x on a round, centrable, 360 degree rotating stage. A centerable and focusable Bertrand lens with a 360 degree rotatable analyzer supports conoscopic observation, and the microscope ships with lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates. Full Kohler illumination gives sharp, contrasted images across the light path. It suits geology, materials science, and any research-grade laboratory that examines birefringent specimens.

Trinocular Polarizing Microscope for Quantitative Polarized Light Analysis

The Optika B-510POL is built for laboratories that examine specimens visible mainly through their optical anisotropic or birefringent features. The rotating round stage, centerable and focusable Bertrand lens, and rotatable analyzer support both qualitative and quantitative polarized light work, with tint plates included for compensation.

  • IOS W-PLAN POL objectives from 4x to 40x, anti-fungus treated
  • Round 360 degree rotating stage, centrable, with specimen clips
  • Centerable and focusable Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation
  • Lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates included
  • Full Kohler illumination for sharp, contrasted images

Optika B-510POL Trinocular Polarized Light Microscope

The Optika B-510POL is a trinocular polarizing microscope from the B-510 research series, built for quantitative polarized light observation of birefringent specimens.

IOS W-PLAN POL objectives pair with a round, centrable, 360 degree rotating stage and a full polarized light attachment for conoscopic and orthoscopic observation.

IOS W-PLAN POL Objectives for Polarized Light

The objective set covers 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x, infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance.

Polarized Light Attachment with Bertrand Lens

A centerable and focusable Bertrand lens supports conoscopic observation, and a 360 degree rotatable analyzer works with the swing-out / polarizing condenser. Lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates are included for compensation techniques.

Full Kohler Illumination

X-LED3 illumination with full Kohler adjustment delivers contrasted and sharp images through the swing-out condenser, N.A. 0.2/0.9.

Round Rotating Stage

The 145 mm round stage rotates a full 360 degrees, is centrable, and includes specimen clips with 0.1 mm vernier scale accuracy for precise angular positioning.

Ideal Applications

The B-510POL suits laboratories that examine birefringent or anisotropic specimens.

  • Mineral analysis in rock thin sections
  • Materials science polarized light examination
  • Polymer, fiber, and crystal structure analysis
  • Diagnostic polarized light work such as gout crystal analysis
  • Geology and metallurgy teaching and research

Choose the B-510POL when:

  • You need quantitative polarized light observation in transmitted light
  • You examine birefringent minerals, crystals, or fibers
  • You need a rotating stage with vernier scale accuracy
  • You want conoscopic observation with a Bertrand lens

Optika Value Proposition

The Optika B-510POL combines IOS W-PLAN POL optics with a full polarized light attachment and full Kohler illumination on a trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty plus lifetime X-LED warranty.
