Olympus U-POT Transmitted Light Polarizer — BX & BH2 Series Drop-in polarizer for transmitted light polarization microscopy — ideal for geological analysis, materials characterization, and birefringence observation with Olympus BX and BH2 series microscopes. 🔆 Transmitted Light Polarizer — essential lower polarizing element for polarization microscopy 📦 Drop-In Design — simple installation into the 45 mm light well beneath the condenser ✅ Compatible with Olympus BX and BH2 series microscopes ♾️ Works with U-ANT analyzer for a complete crossed-polarizer setup 🎓 New condition 🔧 Product Description The Olympus U-POT is an essential optical accessory for transmitted light polarization microscopy. It installs in the 45 mm light well beneath the condenser, providing the lower polarizing element required for observing birefringent materials, crystalline structures, and optical properties in geological samples, materials, and biological specimens. The drop-in design allows quick insertion and removal without tools, enabling fast switching between polarized light and standard brightfield observation. When paired with the U-ANT analyzer above the objective, the U-POT creates a complete crossed-polarizer system for birefringence observation, mineral identification, and materials characterization. 🔎 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 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Type Transmitted Light Polarizer (Lower) Installation Drop-in, 45 mm light well beneath condenser Compatibility Olympus BX and BH2 series microscopes Analyzer Pairing U-ANT Part Number U-POT (U-P110) SKU 3812600 Condition New Country of Origin Japan 🎓 University purchase orders accepted.
