Optika B-383POL Trinocular polarized light microscope, 600x, IOS N-PLAN POL PLAN
€2.436,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-383POL is a trinocular polarizing microscope for quantitative polarized light observation in transmitted light. It carries IOS N-PLAN POL objectives from 4x to 60x on a round, 360 degree rotating stage with a 0.1 mm vernier scale. A centerable Bertrand lens and a 360 degree rotatable analyzer support conoscopic observation, and the microscope ships with lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates. X-LED3 illumination covers transmitted light. It suits geology, materials science, and any laboratory that examines birefringent specimens.
Trinocular Polarizing Microscope for Quantitative Polarized Light Analysis
The Optika B-383POL is built for laboratories that examine specimens visible mainly through their optical anisotropic or birefringent features. The rotating round stage, centerable Bertrand lens, and rotatable analyzer support both qualitative and quantitative polarized light work, with tint plates included for compensation.
- IOS N-PLAN POL objectives from 4x to 60x, anti-fungus treated
- Round 360 degree rotating stage with 0.1 mm vernier scale accuracy
- Centerable Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation
- Lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates included
- Suited to geology, materials science, and birefringence analysis
Optika B-383POL Trinocular Polarizing Microscope
The Optika B-383POL is a trinocular polarizing microscope from the B-380 series, built for quantitative polarized light observation of birefringent specimens.
IOS N-PLAN POL objectives pair with a round, 360 degree rotating stage and a full polarized light attachment for conoscopic and orthoscopic observation.
IOS N-PLAN POL Objectives for Polarized Light
The objective set covers 4x, 10x, 40x, and 60x, infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance.
Polarized Light Attachment with Bertrand Lens
A centerable Bertrand lens supports conoscopic observation, and a 360 degree rotatable analyzer works with the fixed polarizer in the condenser. Lambda, lambda/4, and quartz wedge tint plates are included for compensation techniques.
Round Rotating Stage
The 160 mm diameter round stage rotates a full 360 degrees with specimen clips and a 0.1 mm vernier scale, giving precise angular positioning for polarized light analysis.
Coaxial Focusing with Limit Stop
Coarse and fine focusing share a coaxial control, with 25 mm coarse travel and 2 um fine resolution. An upper stop prevents contact between the objective and the specimen.
Ideal Applications
The B-383POL 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-383POL when:
- You need quantitative polarized light observation
- 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-383POL combines IOS N-PLAN POL optics with a full polarized light attachment on a trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty plus lifetime X-LED warranty.
