1. Safety notes

• For power supply use only electrical sockets

with ground contact.

Caution! The Stirling engine becomes hot during

use. Risk of burns!

• Do not touch the lamp during or immediately

after use.

2. Description, technical data

The monocular polarisation microscope allows

two-dimensional viewing of objects (thin sec-

tions of rock, plant or animal specimen) in 40x to

400x magnification in polarised light.

Stand: Robust, all metal stand with arm perma-

nently connected to the base. Focussing by

means of separate knobs for coarse and fine

adjustment located on either side of the stand

and operated by rack and pinion drive with ball

bearings and retaining lever, adjustable stopper

for protecting the object slides and objective.

Tube: Monocular inclined 30°, head rotation 360°

Polarisation equipment: Polariser with scale

and analyser, which can be inserted into the tube

Eyepiece: Wide field eyepiece WF 10x 18 mm

Objectives: Inverted objective revolver with 3

achromatic objectives 4x / 0.10, 10x / 0.25, 40x /

0.65

Magnification: 40x, 100x, 400x

Object stage: Circular object stage 120 mm in

diameter, which can be rotated 360°, scale with

Vernier and 2 specimen clips

Illumination: Adjustable 6 V, 20 W halogen

lamp incorporated into the base, universal 85 to

265 V, 50/60 Hz power supply

Condenser: Abbe condenser N.A.1.25 NA 0.65

with iris diaphragm , filter holder and blue filter,

focussed via rack and pinion drive
