Slider with 1 λ First-Order Red Plate – Accessory for Reflected-Light Illumination (Euromex DX.9610-R)

A Slider with 1 λ first-order red plate is designed to integrate into reflected-light illumination attachments and to deliver controlled retardation for improved contrast and polarisation effects

• Fits reflected-light illumination attachments
• 1 λ first-order red retardation plate
• Slider for precise optical positioning

Improved contrast and controlled retardation for reflected-light optics

The first-order red plate delivers a defined optical retardation that enhances contrast where polarisation effects are required in reflected-light setups. By introducing a stable 1 λ retardation, the element supports clearer visual differentiation of surface structures and thin-film effects. Integration into an illumination attachment provides a compact method to obtain consistent optical results without complex reconfiguration of the microscope head. The design concentrates on predictable optical behaviour to aid reproducible inspections.

Smooth insertion and accurate positioning for consistent results

The slider format ensures repeatable placement of the optical element within the illumination path, combining mechanical stability with quick handling. The slide mechanism provides straightforward alignment and reduces the risk of misplacement during routine use, supporting efficient workflow in laboratory and workshop environments. This means less downtime during sample changeover and more consistent imaging performance over time, contributing to operational reliability and process efficiency.

Application scope, compatibility and quality considerations

Intended as an accessory for reflected-light illumination attachments, the unit is suitable wherever a defined retardation plate is required to modify polarisation contrast. Compatibility depends on the illumination adapter geometry; the component is supplied as a dedicated slider to match standard reflected-light mounts. Manufactured by Euromex, the item carries the identification DX.9610-R and is intended to complement existing optical setups, offering a focused solution for material inspection, surface analysis and metrology tasks that benefit from enhanced contrast control.

FAQ

What is the primary function of this slider?
The slider with a 1 λ first-order red plate provides controlled retardation within a reflected-light illumination attachment, improving contrast and emphasising polarisation-related surface features.

Is this accessory compatible with all Euromex illumination attachments?
Compatibility depends on the illumination adapter design; the DX.9610-R is intended for standard reflected-light mounts and fits installations designed for slide-style optical elements.

How does the 1 λ plate affect imaging?
The 1 λ retardation introduces a known phase shift that enhances contrast for thin films and surface irregularities, supporting clearer visual differentiation in inspection tasks.

Can the slider be used for metallurgical inspections?
Yes, the controlled retardation supplied by this accessory is beneficial in metallurgical and surface analysis where reflected-light polarisation and contrast play a role.

Who manufactures this component and how is it identified?
The component is manufactured by Euromex and identified as DX.9610-R, supplied as an accessory for reflected-light illumination systems.
