Polarized Light Microscopes

MicrOptik presents high-tech microscopes specially designed for routine application in material sciences and geology to identify minerals on the basis of characteristic refraction properties and colors. Be aware of MicrOptik Custom Built Platform! Due to that practically any kind of Microscope using Polarized Light Technique can be manufactured on customer's request and features customizable options to add many accessories.  This type of microscopes has been designed for microscopic study in Polarized Light objects which include optical anisotropic elements or totally consist of such.
                        
Qualitative polarizing microscopy is very popular in practice, with numerous volumes dedicated to the subject. In contrast, the quantitative aspects of polarized light microscopy, which is primarily employed in crystallography, represent a far more difficult subject that is usually restricted to geologists, mineralogists, and chemists. However, steady advances made over the past few years have enabled biologists to study the birefringent character of many anisotropic sub-cellular assemblies. MicrOptik has an extensive list of image analysis techniques which can be applied in Polarized Light Microscopy.
