🔧 Product Description

The Olympus U-OPA Polarizing Attachment is an intermediate module that mounts between the microscope body and the observation head on Olympus BX and CX series upright microscopes. It provides a slot for the Olympus U-AN360P 360° rotating analyzer (sold separately), enabling polarized light observation on standard brightfield BX and CX configurations — a cost-effective way to add POL capability without purchasing a dedicated polarizing microscope. Ideal for labs that occasionally require polarized light observation alongside routine brightfield and fluorescence workflows.

🔎 Typical Applications

• Polarized light observation on Olympus BX and CX series microscopes
• Mineral, fiber, and crystal identification under POL
• Materials science and geological sample analysis
• Adding POL capability to existing BX/CX brightfield configurations
• University and research laboratory use
