The JPL135 Polarising Monocular Microscope is a remarkable and cost-effective microscope enriched with a diverse range of functionalities to cater to your needs. This monocular microscope provides a single viewing port, as opposed to the conventional dual-port design. It employs transmitted illuminated light as its source and features the ability to observe slides under polarized and cross-polarized light, facilitating easier mineral identification through light refraction properties. The microscope’s head is equipped with a 10X eyepiece featuring a crosshair, accompanied by three DIN achromatic strain-free objectives offering magnifications of 4X, 10X, and 40X. These form the fundamental features of the microscope. However, it doesn’t stop there. The JPL135 features a rotating, centerable stage, retractable analyzer within the head, and condenser for the transmitted light source. The condenser incorporates both coarse and fine focus adjustments with adjustable tension, enhancing the precision of your observations. The amalgamation of these attributes empowers the JPL135 to provide a seamlessly rotating and graduated stage. Moreover, the microscope incorporates a set of polarizers that enable the examination of various types of transmitted light-polarized specimens. This includes thin sections of minerals, polymers, crystals, and particulates. Consequently, the microscope finds a special niche among geology enthusiasts, earth scientists, researchers in synthetic materials, gemologists, and beyond. In summary, the JPL135 Polarising Monocular Microscope stands as an outstanding, budget-friendly microscope that amalgamates essential and advanced features. Its ability to illuminate slides uniquely and observe specimens under polarised light renders it a valuable tool across multiple disciplines. To compliment your microscope, we also supply thin sections are various rocks and minerals that would make a fantastic addition for someone with a passion for the Earth sciences.
