POLARIZING MICROSCOPE – PM SERIES
Variants: PM-10 (Monocular) | PM-11 (Binocular) | PM-12 (Trinocular)
Designed for geology, mineralogy, petrology, and materials science education, the PM Series Polarizing Microscopes deliver reliable polarized light analysis with precision optics and rugged mechanical construction. This series allows users to choose between monocular, binocular, or trinocular configurations while maintaining identical optical performance and polarizing capabilities across all variants.
Built with Bertrand lens systems, sliding analyzers, precision rotating stages, and high-NA condensers, the PM Series is ideal for both student training and advanced laboratory applications.
