Motic Panthera TEC-POL BINO - Binocular Microscope

The Panthera TEC POL series fills a last gap in the Panthera family: Polarization microscopes for all material sciences, ready to handle transparent samples like fibers and foils with their inherent birefringence. The Incident light models for opaque materials work out the specific reflectivity (bireflection) of flat surfaces. To extend the application fields, all microscopes carry an intermediate tube with Bertrand lens to analyze the crystal structure and interference figures of gems, precious stones and minerals.

Flexible Microscope System for Polarizing Materials

The Panthera TEC POL models present a high flexibility for the inspection of all kind of polarizing materials, for transparent samples as well as for opaque specimen from technical education environments and industrial quality control. Even transparent birefringent structures from biology and medicine (heart muscle cells, secondary cell walls, etc.) can be detected by the Full Koehler illumination with exchangeable LED/Halogen light source. In incident light, a 3W LED is integrated in a Brightfield illumination setup with Aperture and Field diaphragm.

A microscope is a powerful scientific instrument. Science education in teaching institutes and universities is deeply depending on this instrument. Organizationally and financially justified, the students/users share the common instruments of a classroom.

Besides the well-known procedures to maintain the performance, in Corona times additional care is needed to avoid spreading the virus. Time to update our care recommendations.
 

Important Microscope Contact Areas

The optical performance of a microscope mainly depends on clean lens and glass surfaces without dust, fingerprints or other skin lipids. Clear images are only possible if the following surfaces do not show any dirt.
