Product Overview

The Leica 1–4 order quartz wedge is a precision optical compensator designed for quantitative polarized light microscopy and mineral identification. This accessory enables determination of birefringence and optical path differences by introducing a continuously variable retardation across the field of view. The wedge produces characteristic interference color sequences that allow geologists, materials scientists, and petrographers to identify minerals and analyze crystalline structures with high accuracy. The as-new condition ensures optimal optical performance and precise retardation values.
