Polarized Optical Microscopy – BX51 P

Description:
BX51P microscope is a polarizing research tool for the identification of isotropic and anisotropic materials, eutectic mixtures, thin film, polymers and crystal identification. It can work on transmission and reflection mode and is coupled with an Olympus DP73 high-performance Peltier cooled digital color camera. In this system the illumination source is generated by a halogen lamp from Olympus KL 2500 LCD. Our system can be coupled with a hot stage enabling sample examination of all kinds of thermal transitions when the sample is heated or cooled. A Visible spectrometer is also available to attached to the microscope and reflection and transmission spectra can be obtained.
