IS.1053-PLPOLi trinocular microscope with polarisation and Bertrand lens (Euromex)

The IS.1053-PLPOLi is a trinocular microscope designed for polarised-light analysis and routine laboratory inspection, featuring EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces, plan polarisation objectives and a 160 mm circular rotating stage.

• Trinocular head for camera integration
• EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces
• Plan polarisation objectives 5–40x
• Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation
• 3 W NeoLED Köhler illumination

Engineered for dependable polarised-light analysis

This instrument combines plan polarisation objectives with an integrated polariser and analyser slide to make birefringence and anisotropy visible with clarity. The inclusion of a Bertrand lens enables conoscopic observation and rapid assessment of interference figures, which is particularly valuable for mineralogical identification and stress analysis in transparent materials. The optical train is designed to preserve field flatness and contrast across the useful magnification range, supporting consistent analytical results in lab workflows.

Efficient imaging and documentation workflow

A trinocular head and wide-field EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces provide comfortable observation while permitting simultaneous camera attachment for image capture or live streaming. The set of plan polarisation objectives covering 5x, 10x, 20x and S40x enables precise resolution of structural detail without compromising image flatness. This combination reduces the need for frequent refocusing when switching magnifications and supports reproducible documentation for reports and teaching material.

Uniform illumination and precise sample handling

The built-in 3 W NeoLED Köhler illumination delivers a stable, evenly illuminated field with low heat generation and long service life, improving contrast in brightfield polarisation work. Sample orientation is facilitated by the 160 mm rotating stage, which is rotatable by 60° for controlled angular adjustment during crossed-polar experiments. The polariser and analyser are mounted as a slider system for quick engagement, keeping specimen handling efficient and reducing setup time between measurements.

Adapted to laboratory, education and inspection environments

This optical instrument suits geology, materials science, polymer analysis and instructional laboratories that require reliable polarised-light capability without excessive complexity. The mechanical and optical choices favour durability and straightforward maintenance, while the optical features support both qualitative observation and documented quantitative comparison.
