Motic® BA310POL Polarizing Microscope

Ideal for crystallography, petrography, and mineralogy applications

Motic® BA310POL polarizing microscope is designed for the examination of birefringent samples from petrography and mineralogy, and can also be used for the synthetic materials industry where repeatable observations can be performed with efficiency and reliability. It also works especially well in educational applications of material professions, where affordability and ease-of-use are the key requirements.

Strain-free versions of the EC Plan Achromatic lenses naturally provide optimal image quality through a multi-layer lens coating. With crossed polarizer/analyzer, a dark image background is ensured. The built-in 30-watt halogen light source is part of a Full Koehler setup for optimized image contrast by reducing stray light. The Intermediate Tube, an integral part of the standard microscope package, carries a Bertrand lens, both focusable and centerable.

The pre-centered rotating stage has a hard coated and chemical resistant surface, while a high precision ball-bearing mechanism ensures smooth rotation. An anti-fungus treatment has been applied to the complete microscope to ensure a long lifetime of both microscope mechanics and optics in humid environments.
