Euromex iScope IS.1052-PLPOLRi – Binocular microscope with plan polarisation optics and NeoLED illumination

The iScope IS.1052-PLPOLRi is a binocular microscope designed for polarisation and reflected-light inspection, providing versatile imaging for materials science, geology and quality control

• Binocular head with EWF 10×/20 mm eyepieces
• Plan polarisation objectives 5/10/20/S50×
• 160 mm rotating stage, 60° rotatable polariser
• Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation
• NeoLED Köhler brightfield and 50 W halogen

Reliable polarisation results for material analysis

The combination of plan polarisation objectives and a rotatable polariser with analyser slider enables clear, high-contrast imaging of birefringent structures. Plan objectives reduce field curvature and deliver a flat image across the field, which is essential when observing interference colours or thin-section textures; this means less post-processing and more reliable qualitative assessment. The integrated Bertrand lens permits conoscopic observation for crystal orientation checks and advanced polarimetry without additional attachments, improving diagnostic confidence during polarised-light examinations.

Comfortable, precise optics for extended inspections

A binocular head fitted with EWF 10× eyepieces (20 mm field number) offers a wide apparent field and comfortable viewing, reducing eye strain during long sessions. Objective magnifications of 5×, 10×, 20× and an S50× option permit rapid changes in detail level while maintaining optical correction across the field. For routine laboratory use, this optical pairing shortens inspection time and increases throughput by making features easier to find and document; the instrument’s optical design prioritises repeatable image geometry for consistent results between operators.

Controlled illumination and mechanical repeatability

Accurate lighting is fundamental for comparative microscopy. The instrument combines Köhler brightfield illumination driven by a 3 W NeoLED source and a dedicated reflected-light attachment with 50 W halogen, offering both stable low-heat transmitted light and powerful epiplan illumination for polished or opaque specimens. Köhler alignment ensures even illumination and optimal contrast, which is particularly valuable when assessing subtle optical effects. The 160 mm rotating stage with precise detents and a 60° rotatable polariser facilitates standardised sample orientation, making successive measurements reproducible and comparable across batches.

Suited workflows and practical applications

This microscope is well suited to geology, materialography, education and routine quality assurance where polarisation and reflected-light capability are required in one instrument. The modular nature of the configuration allows integration into microscopy workstations or documentation setups; the wide-field optics and robust stage control support rapid scanning and archival imaging. For laboratories seeking an entry-to-mid-level polarisation instrument that balances optical performance with operational ergonomics, this Euromex model provides a measured step up from basic teaching microscopes without the complexity of large research systems.
