1/λ Plate First-Order Red 530 nm Slider for iScope Polarisation Models IS.9610 — Transmitted-Light Retarder by Euromex

The 1/λ Plate First Red 530 nm (IS.9610) is a dedicated first-order retarder in a slider mount, designed for transmitted-light illumination within iScope polarisation model ranges to enhance contrast and reveal birefringent structures.

• First-order red retardation 530 nm
• Slider mount for transmitted light illumination
• Compatible with iScope polarisation models

Accurate polarisation control for inspection and analysis

The first-order (1/λ) retardation at 530 nm provides a well-defined phase shift for transmitted-light polarisation microscopy, facilitating reliable identification of birefringent materials. As a retarder plate, it produces a controlled colour shift that makes internal stresses, fibre orientations and crystalline structures visible; this enables repeatable results in quality control and material analysis. The optical specification is concise and directly supports quantitative interpretation of polarised images, reducing ambiguity during inspections.

Simple integration and operational efficiency

Mounted in a slider for transmitted-light illumination, this retarder is intended for quick insertion and removal from the optical path, allowing efficient alternation between polarised and non-polarised observation modes. The compact slider format minimises downtime during sample changes and supports workflows in teaching laboratories and production inspection benches. Compatibility with the iScope polarisation range means the accessory aligns with established holders and illumination geometries, maintaining optical alignment without additional adapters.

Reliability for routine laboratory and teaching use

Designed as an accessory for polarisation-capable microscopes, the component emphasises stability and consistent optical performance over repeated use. The defined 530 nm wavelength target ensures predictable interference colours, aiding both novice users and experienced microscopists in interpretation. When used in routine examinations, the plate contributes to faster decision making through clearer contrast and enhanced visibility of anisotropic materials, supporting productivity in both research and industrial environments.

FAQ

What optical effect does the 1/λ plate produce?
The 1/λ plate (first-order red at 530 nm) introduces a fixed phase shift that creates characteristic interference colours, enabling clearer visualisation of birefringent structures when used with crossed polarisation on the Euromex 1/λ Plate First-Order Red 530 nm (IS.9610).

Is this plate compatible with all iScope polarisation models?
The IS.9610 is designed for iScope polarisation model ranges; it fits the slider slot used for transmitted-light polarisation accessories and is specified to match the geometry of those models.

How does the slider mount benefit routine use?
The slider format allows rapid insertion and removal of the retarder from the optical path, which reduces interruption during sample changes and supports quick switching between polarised and non-polarised observations with minimal realignment.

Can this retarder be used for teaching as well as production inspections?
Yes, the clear interference colours at 530 nm and the straightforward slider operation make it suitable for both educational demonstrations and consistent inspection tasks in production environments.
