Polarizing Microscope YR0264 – YR0265: Precision Observation for Mineralogical and Crystallographic Analysis

Product Description

The Polarizing Microscope YR0264 – YR0265 is specifically designed to meet the highest standards in mineralogical and crystallographic analysis. Featuring a 45° inclined viewing head for ergonomic comfort, this model is available in binocular (YR0264) and trinocular (YR0265) versions, catering to different observation needs. The WF10×/18 eyepieces, with crosshair and reticle, provide a detailed and precise view, ideal for high-definition studies in light polarization.

One standout feature is the strain-free achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 25x, 40x, and 63x), ensuring distortion-free precision in detailed observations. The rearward-facing, center-adjustable quadruple nosepiece enables seamless objective changes without losing field alignment. Additionally, the coaxial fine and coarse focus, with a 28 mm range and 0.002 mm precision, allows for highly detailed and specific adjustments in every observation.

The 160 mm diameter rotating round stage, graduated in 1° increments with a minimum resolution of 6′, is ideal for studies requiring high angular precision. With an NA1.25 Abbe condenser and a 360° rotatable polarizer, this polarizing microscope ensures high-quality results for laboratories and field studies requiring precision.

Field Use

This polarizing microscope is essential for studying minerals and crystals, allowing geologists and scientists to observe the internal structure of rocks and minerals from different angles of polarized light. Thanks to its high-quality optical components and 360° rotation in the polarizer, this model offers exceptional depth and quality for crystallographic studies, making it easier to identify the optical properties of each sample. The trinocular model, on the other hand, facilitates the use of cameras for capturing and analyzing images, an essential feature for documenting studies or sharing observations in real time with other researchers.

In field scenarios, its robustness and adjustable halogen lamp brightness ensure that critical details in samples are clearly visible. This equipment is ideal for advanced scientific research in universities and research centers where high-precision analysis and durability in controlled conditions are essential.

Recommendations

To ensure the durability and optimal performance of the YR0264 – YR0265 polarizing microscope, regular maintenance of optical and electronic components is recommended. Keeping the optics dust-free and protecting objectives when not in use are crucial steps to avoid distortions in visualization. Additionally, adjusting the lamp brightness to the needs of each observation will not only improve image quality but also prolong the lifespan of the halogen bulbs. As an additional recommendation, using the vernier scale on the stage will provide superior precision for angular analysis, ideal for complex polarization studies.
