This fully loaded configuration includes every major accessory required for advanced polarized light research. Four strain-free POL objectives โ 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x โ deliver flat-field, artifact-free imaging across the full magnification range. The U-CPA conoscopic observation attachment with Bertrand field stop enables direct observation of interference figures for optical axis determination and crystal system identification. The U-SRP rotating ball-bearing stage with 3-point centering enables precise extinction angle measurement and crystal orientation analysis. The U-POC strain-free condenser with 360ยฐ rotatable polarizer and swing-out top lens, U-AN360P 360ยฐ dial-rotatable lockable analyzer, and U-TAD compensator adapter with U-TP530 first-order red gypsum plate complete the full analytical optical train. The U-P4RE quadruple centerable nosepiece and U-FMP attachable mechanical stage with XY controls add precision specimen navigation. WHN 10x widefield eyepieces with crosshair reticle and scale in the right eyepiece support precise measurement and alignment. The U-TR30-2 trinocular head with selectable light path ratios supports simultaneous observation and camera documentation. In excellent, as-new working condition, this system is ready for immediate deployment. ๐ Typical Applications Mineralogy and petrology thin section analysis with conoscopic observation Crystal structure, birefringence, and optical axis determination Interference color and retardation measurement with compensators Forensic fiber identification and birefringent materials analysis Pharmaceutical polymorphism and crystal habit analysis Thin film, polymer, and particulate identification ๐ Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus BX41 Optical System UIS2 infinity-corrected, strain-free Head U-TR30-2 trinocular (100:0 / 80:20 / 0:100) Eyepieces WHN 10x Widefield (crosshair reticle with scale in right eyepiece) Nosepiece U-P4RE quadruple centerable Objectives Strain-free POL 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x Stage U-SRP 360ยฐ rotating ball-bearing with 3-point centering Mechanical Stage U-FMP attachable with XY knurled controls Condenser U-POC strain-free, 360ยฐ rotatable polarizer, swing-out top lens Analyzer U-AN360P 360ยฐ dial-rotatable, lockable Conoscopic Attachment U-CPA with Bertrand field stop Compensator System U-TAD adapter + U-TP530 first-order red gypsum plate Condition Excellent, as-new working order SKU BX41P Country of Origin Japan Weight 65 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
