Product Description
The Polarizing Microscopes YR0264 and YR0265 from Kalstein are renowned for their precision and high-quality construction, designed to meet the demanding requirements of researchers and laboratory technicians. These models feature advanced optical systems that are integral to achieving clear and detailed observations.
The YR0264 model is equipped with a Sliding Brinocular Viewing Head inclined at 45°, while the YR0265 boasts a Sliding Trinocular Viewing Head, also inclined at 45°, catering to diverse needs in scientific applications. The eyepiece options include a WF10×/18 with a scale of cross hair, a graticule, and a standard WF10x/18, ensuring versatility and precision in observations.
Both models feature Strain Free Achromatic Objectives with magnifications of 4x, 10x, 25x, 40x, and 63x, as well as Strain Free Plan Achromatic Objectives in 25x, 40x, and 63x. The backward quadruple nosepiece is designed for center adjustment, highlighting the adaptability of the microscope for various research requirements.
Focusing is seamless with the coaxial coarse and fine adjustment mechanism, featuring a range of 28mm and a fine division of 0.002mm for precise control. The stage is a revolving round type with a 160mm diameter, graduated in 1° increments, and a minimum resolution of 6’ with a vernier scale. This, coupled with a mechanical stage with a 30x40mm moving range, ensures wide-ranging capabilities for any research scenario.
The NA1.25 Abbe condenser is integrated with an iris diaphragm and filter, while a rotatable analyzer offers gradation from 0° to 90°, and the polarizer can rotate a full 360°, maximizing flexibility for varied experimental setups. The Bertrand Lens can slide in and out of the optical path, allowing for detailed field observations when required.
Each model is equipped with an Optical Compensator that includes a λ Slip (First class red), a 1/4λ Slip, and a Quartz wedge, providing expanded analytical capabilities. Furthermore, the illumination system includes both a 12V/20W Halogen lamp for transmitted illumination and a 12V/50W Halogen lamp for reflected illumination, both with adjustable brightness, vital for enhancing visibility and detail.
