iScope IS.1053-PLPOLRi trinocular microscope – Plan polarisation optics with Köhler NeoLED and halogen illumination (Euromex)

The iScope IS.1053-PLPOLRi is a trinocular microscope designed for polarisation microscopy, material inspection and routine laboratory documentation

• Trinocular head for simultaneous binocular use
• EWF 10x / 20 mm eyepieces
• Plan polarisation objectives 5/10/20/S50x
• 160 mm rotating stage with 60° polariser and analyser
• NeoLED Köhler brightfield and 50 W halogen reflected

Precise polarisation that reveals internal structure

The instrument is equipped with plan polarisation objectives that maintain a flat field across the visual area, enabling consistent, distortion‑free imaging of anisotropic materials. Matched with EWF eyepieces, the optics deliver a wide, comfortable field of view useful for extended examinations. The integrated Bertrand lens allows conoscopic observation, which is essential when assessing interference figures and crystallographic orientations; explained simply, this lens brings the back focal plane into view so birefringence and extinction angles can be analysed without additional accessories. The optical combination reduces the need for repeated refocusing and supports reliable comparative measurements between samples.

Stable sample handling that speeds up workflows

A substantial 160 mm rotating stage offers smooth, controlled rotation and, combined with the 60° polariser and analyser slide, provides precise orientation of specimens for extinction angle determination and texture inspection. The trinocular head facilitates parallel observational and imaging work: one path for the observer, one for a camera or documentation device, which streamlines reporting and quality control workflows. These mechanical and optical design choices reduce handling time and improve repeatability when evaluating sets of samples or incoming inspection batches.

Illumination engineered for contrast and minimal artefacts

Illumination combines NeoLED Köhler illumination for transmitted brightfield with a separate 50 W halogen reflected light attachment for opaque specimens. Köhler illumination produces even, shadow‑free light by aligning the condenser aperture and field diaphragm, improving contrast and making subtle details more visible while preventing uneven heating of temperature‑sensitive samples. The 50 W halogen unit provides a stable, high‑intensity beam for surface inspection and metallurgical studies where reflected light is required. Together they enable a broad range of sample types to be examined without swapping core instrumentation.

Practical design and supply reliability for laboratories

Mechanical and optical components are arranged to support routine laboratory use: the plan objectives deliver field flatness for measurement tasks, the rotating stage supports orientation-dependent analysis and the illumination suite covers both transmitted and reflected techniques. The instrument is manufactured by Euromex, a brand known for laboratory optics, and is offered through Metav Werkzeuge, which provides distribution and supply continuity across Europe.

FAQ

What types of samples is this microscope suited for?
The Euromex iScope IS.1053-PLPOLRi is suited for birefringent minerals, thin sections, polymers and routine material inspection where polarisation contrast and surface reflection are required.

How does the polarisation setup help with birefringence analysis?
The combination of plan polarisation objectives, a polariser and analyser slide and the Bertrand lens in the iScope IS.1053-PLPOLRi enables observation of interference figures and precise determination of optical axes, supporting accurate birefringence assessment.

Is Köhler illumination included and why is it important?
Yes. The NeoLED Köhler illumination provides even, controllable transmitted light that improves contrast and resolution while reducing thermal effects, which is particularly beneficial for delicate or heat‑sensitive samples.

Can both transmitted and reflected light techniques be used with this system?
The instrument includes NeoLED transmitted illumination and a 50 W halogen reflected light attachment, so both transmitted brightfield and reflected light examinations are possible without major reconfiguration.

Does the microscope support oriented inspections and angle measurements?
The 160 mm rotating stage with precise rotation and the 60° polariser permit controlled sample orientation, facilitating extinction angle observations and systematic texture analysis.
