Olympus U-ANT Analyzer for Transmitted Light Polarization Microscopy Analyzer for transmitted light polarization microscopy β ideal for geological analysis, materials characterization, and birefringence observation with Olympus microscope systems. π Transmitted Light Analyzer β essential upper polarizing element for polarized light microscopy π Rotatable Design β 360Β° rotation for crossed-polarizer configuration and extinction angle measurement π§ Above-Objective Position β installs in the optical path above the objective turret βΎοΈ Works with U-POT polarizer for a complete crossed-polarizer setup π New condition π§ Product Description The Olympus U-ANT is the upper polarizing element for transmitted light polarization microscopy, installed in the optical path above the objective turret. The rotatable design allows 360Β° adjustment, enabling crossed-polarizer configuration (90Β° to the lower polarizer) for birefringence observation, as well as extinction angle measurements for mineral identification and crystal orientation determination. The precision polarizing filter provides a high extinction ratio and uniform polarization across the field. When paired with the U-POT polarizer below the condenser, the U-ANT creates a complete polarization microscopy system for observing birefringence, pleochroism, interference figures, and other diagnostic optical properties. π Typical Applications Geological thin section analysis and petrography Mineral identification and crystallography Materials science and polymer characterization Stress and strain analysis in materials Pharmaceutical and chemical crystallography Educational geology and materials science π Key Specifications Specification Details Type Transmitted Light Analyzer (Upper) Position Above objective turret Rotation 360Β° Polarizer Pairing U-POT SKU / Part Number 3812700 Condition New Country of Origin Japan π University purchase orders accepted.
