Leica 10X Dispersion Staining POL Objective | 11556511

The Leica 10X Dispersion Staining POL Objective (11556511) is a specialized tool for dispersion staining — a technique that rapidly determines the refractive index of a particle by imparting characteristic colors to colorless objects. The method exploits the difference between the refractive index dispersions of a particulate solid and the liquid medium in which it is immersed, producing distinctive color patterns that allow identification of asbestos fibers, mineral particles, and other materials. The POL designation indicates strain-free optical elements optimized for polarized light microscopy, and the 12mm working distance provides comfortable clearance for slide manipulation.
