Petrographic Microscopes
Polarizing Microscopes is your location for a huge variety of polarizing light microscopes. Features include plane polarized transmitted light and cross polarized transmitted light, complete with Bertrand lens and compensator plates such as quartz wedge, mica, and gypsum. They have both a polarizer and an analyzer that can be turned to the extinction angle to view rock and mineral thin sections under crossed polarization. These are great for mineral identification in geological laboratories and petrology departments. Whatever your needs are in polarized light microscopy, please give us a call to assist you with a solution.
Your best source for polarized light microscopes is Polarizing Microscopes .com. Visit us and see for yourself our wide variety of polarizing microscopes suitable for mineral identification in geology and petrology labs. Our petrographic microscopes come complete with Bertrand lens and compensator plates, and are ready to view rock and mineral thin sections under transmitted plan polarized light and transmitted cross polarized light. If a rock or mineral specimen is cut in a thin enough section, light will pass through it. These thin sections are placed under the polarizing microscope and transmitted polarized light is passed through them. Our low prices make owning one of these fine optical instruments affordable. Be sure to give us a call to discuss all of your polarized light microscopy needs.
