Product Overview

The Nikon LV100 POL is a research-grade upright polarized light microscope renowned for producing brighter, clearer, and higher-contrast images than competing platforms. This fully configured system supports both diascopic (transmitted) and episcopic (reflected) polarized light observation — making it equally suited for geological thin section analysis, semiconductor and materials inspection, and advanced mineralogy. The large 360° rotatable ball bearing stage enables precise specimen rotation for extinction angle measurements and conoscopic observations, while the Bertrand unit with ¼ and full wave plate slider provides complete accessory plate capability. Four strain-free LU Plan POL objectives (5X, 10X, 20X, 50X) cover the full range of magnification needs, and the 3-position trinocular head is camera-ready — contact us for a compatible camera recommendation.
