Specifications
Overview and Summary:

  • High Quality Ore-Polarizing Light Microscope useful for geology and petrographic observations of minerals, rocks, and ores, as well as the study of optical mineralogy principles.
  • Physically larger size than most Ore microscopes. Higher grade, more professional design. This model gives the best imaging of any of our microscopes in this same category.
  • Style and functionality similar to Olympus brand.  Similar size and Y-shape frame as the Olympus BX51 model.  Includes built-in screwdriver just like the BX series.
  • Strain-Free Color Corrected Infinity Corrected Optics.
  • Two Sets of Objectives: Long working distance (no cover slip) and Normal working distance (0.17mm cover slip).
  • Includes both transmitted and reflected light polarization ability.
  • Includes both upper (episcopic, reflected) and lower (transmitted) illumination sources.
  • Includes all three: Mica, Gypsum and Quartz Wedge compensator plates.
  • Single Plane Polarizing, Crossed Polars (nicols), Orthoscopic, and Conoscopic Observation.
  • Built-in Bertrand Lens.
  • Circular Rotatable Stage with XY movement specimen slide holder.
  • Centerable Revolving Objective Nosepiece.
  • Measuring reticle in eyepiece with corresponding stage micrometer.
  • Trinocular port for photography.  Includes 3MP USB camera.
  • Sample Rock and Mineral Slides set.
  • Autovolt Worldwide Voltage Requirement. 100-240V, 50/60Hz.
  • 5 – Year Warranty.
  • Free Worldwide Shipping. Consignee is responsible for duties, taxes, and brokerage fees.

Objectives, Magnification, and Eyepieces:

  • LWD Objective Set: Four DIN Strain-Free Plan Achromatic, Infinity Corrected, Long Working Distance Objectives (LMPlan POL): 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x.  Designed for use with no cover slips.  Objective Specs: 5x/0.15 (W.D. 10.80mm), 10x/0.3 (W.D. 10.00mm), 20x/0.45 (W.D. 4.00mm), 50x/0.55 (W.D. 7.90mm).
  • NWD Objective Set: Five DIN Strain-Free Plan Achromatic, Infinity Corrected, Normal Working Distance Objectives (Plan POL): 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x.  Designed for use with 0.17 mm cover slips.  Objective Specs: 4x/0.10 (W.D. 20.80mm), 10x/0.25 (W.D. 5.30mm), 20x/0.40 (W.D. 1.60mm), 40x/0.60 (W.D. 0.36mm) (Spring Loaded), 60x/0.85 (W.D. 0.47mm) (Spring)(Dry).
  • 10x Eyepiece Set. PL 10x/22mm. High Eye-point for Ease of Viewing when wearing Eyeglasses. We do not include 15x eyepieces because they are useless. The most important part of a microscope is the objective lens. We provide a total of five objective lenses. Don’t be fooled by long lists of different magnifications you can obtain by using a combination of objectives and different eyepieces. In reality, a skilled microscopist is only going to use the 10x eyepiece set as that has the best imaging.  In this ad, we are cutting out the industry-standard marketing gimmicks and getting straight to the point of what a professional geologist will actually need.
  • Measuring Reticle built into one eyepiece: X-Scale 10mm in 100 divisions, 0.1mm/division resolution. Plus Y line.
  • Stage Micrometer: 1 mm in 100 divisions, 0.01 mm / division resolution for calibration of eyepiece reticle.
  • Objective Centering Screws on nosepiece for precise optical alignment. Includes centering wrenches.
  • Eyepiece diopter adjustment to correct for your specific vision needs.

Illumination:

  • Variable Intensity Dual Illumination: Transmitted (Base) and Reflected Episcopic (Upper).
  • Halogen Illumination: 12V-50W (both light sources).
  • Koehler Illumination System with Focusable Field Diaphragm (transmitted).
  • LBD light balancing daylight filter fits on top of the Koehler field diaphragm (transmitted) and fits in a filter holder at the rear of the upper light (reflected).
  • Vertical illuminator with adjustable aperture and field iris diaphragms.  Includes iris centering screws (similar to Zeiss and Olympus, but not found on most other models.).


General Specifications:

  • Rack and Pinion Adjustable Strain Free Abbe Substage Condenser. Numerical Aperture 0.9 with 360 degree rotatable polarizer and iris diaphragm.  Polarizer graduation marks every 2 degrees.
  • Condenser Flip-Top Lens similar to Olympus and Zeiss models.
  • Centerable and focusable Bertrand lens for easy viewing of conoscopic interference patterns.
  • Analyzer with full-range rotating dial provides adjustable cross polarization.  Rotation lock stop screw. Two-degree increments, 6’ precision.
  • Rotatable stage with ball bearing movement.  Diameter 160mm with graduation marks every 1 degree for the full 360 degree rotation. Minimum retardation resolution 6’.  Stage rotation locking clamp screw.  Stage centering screws.
  • Detachable X-Y Mechanical Stage Slide Movement.
  • Coaxial Fine and Coarse Focusing Knobs on Both Sides of Microscope. With travel lock stop to protect slides. Course tension adjustment. Course range: 30 mm. Fine precision 0.002mm.
