Panthera TEC POL Polarizing Industrial Microscope from MOTIC
Powerful Solution for Incident and Transmitted Lights Methods
The Panthera TEC POL series fills a last gap in the Panthera family: Polarization microscopes for all material sciences, ready to handle transparent samples like fibers and foils with their inherent birefringence. The Incident light models for opaque materials work out the specific reflectivity (bireflection) of flat surfaces. To extend the application fields, all microscopes carry an intermediate tube with Bertrand lens to analyze the crystal structure and interference figures of gems, precious stones and minerals.
- UC Plan Achromat objectives (strain-free) for FOV 22mm
- Transmitted and transmitted/ incident stand options
- Transmitted light: LED/HAL light source interchangeable
- Integrated focusable/ centerable Bertrand lens
- Motic LightTracer: Coded nosepiece & Digital light intensity knob
FLEXIBLE MICROSCOPE SYSTEM FOR POLARIZING MATERIALS
The Panthera TEC POL models present a high flexibility for the inspection of all kind of polarizing materials, for transparent samples as well as for opaque specimen from technical education environments and industrial quality control. Even transparent birefringent structures from biology and medicine (heart muscle cells, secondary cell walls, etc.) can be detected by the Full Koehler illumination with exchangeable LED/Halogen light source. In incident light, a 3W LED is integrated in a Brightfield illumination setup with Aperture and Field diaphragm.
The Panthera TEC POL models feature UC Plan Achromat objectives with focus on a strain-free mounting for maximum darkness of the image background.
A 5-fold encoded nosepiece memorizes the light intensity for each objective position to replicate the illumination once the objective is swung in again.
The compact Epi illuminator carries a slot for polarizer and analyzer, ready to set up Polarization contrast and to reduce internal reflections. An Intermediate tube with focusable/centerable Bertrand lens is prepared for a conoscopic analysis of crystals and minerals in transmitted light.
The extended 22mm Field of View (FOV) offers 21% more visual area in comparison to a basic 20mm FOV system. All trinocular versions (25° viewing angle) have a fixed beam split of 50/50 (visual/camera port).
The Panthera TEC POL models are clearly focused on material sciences. The 3W LED incident light source can easily be changed to different color temperatures (3500K/5500K). The incident/transmitted stands additionally carry a Full Koehler illumination with LED/Halogen interchangeability.
The 360° rotatable stage runs smooth for an easy positioning of the sample, bringing interesting regions precisely into the crossing point of the eyepiece reticle.
With Panthera TEC POL models now also opaque industrial samples can be examined to detect bi reflection of flat polished/etched surfaces.
Brilliant optics for significant image results, flexible setups with a smart illumination concept, models with camera to document and to share images: The Panthera TEC POL series is ready to facilitate your daily work significantly
