The five pol objectives mounted on the nose piece are: XXx, XXx, XXx, XXx, and XXx. It is displayed with a syncronizing arm conecting the polarizer and analyser (note the standard polarizing condenser and adjustment knob sitting in front of the microscope). The current specimen is equipped with a quintuple nosepiece with individual centering for each objective and a graduated, rotating stage, built-in illumination system, trinocular head for visual and photographic observation, and two diaphram condenser. In addition to a brief overview, they include extensive links to images, literature, instructions etc. For further information on polarizing microscopes I recommend the pages by Dr. It is widely used for chemical microscopy and optical mineralogy. Materials such as crystals and strained non-crystalline substances. Microscope is particularly useful in the study of birefringent The specimen is illuminated with plane polarized light,Īnd its rotation of this light can be analyzed. Slider in the tube above the objective, both in rotatable, graduated,
