The polarized light microscopes are used in several applications such as rock and mineral identification, in medical applications, in the fields of biochemistry and in biomedical research and studies. There are actually many types of polarized light microscopes available in the market today. Some polarizing microscopes are used for geological studies. One example of which is the compound trinocular polarizing geological microscope. The compound trinocular polarizing compound microscope is a high quality professional polarizing microscope that claims to be very useful in the fields of Geology and the fields of Petrology. They are also said to be equally important and useful in other fields such as in the fields of Mineralogy, Toxicology, Pharmaceutics, and even in the field of Forensic Medicine. Eight Magnifications of 40x, 60x, 100x, 150x, 200x, 300x, 400x, and 600x come with this type of polarizing microscope.

Two wide field eyepiece sets are included with this microscope, 10x and 15x by magnification. It also has a semi plan DIN stain free objectives as one of its special microscope features. These stain free objectives are said to be better in quality than those in other microscopes. It has string loaded protected objectives. The compound geological polarizing microscope has a 45 degree inclined trinocular head. It is rotatable to up to 360 degrees. Diopter adjustment on both of its oculars are also one of its features. This is utilized in order to correct for specific vision needs. It also adjusts to the distance between your eyes, with a 55 to 75mm interpupillary distance properties. The compound trinocular polarizing geological microscope produces excellently bright and clear images through its high quality optics. It uses a variable intensity 20W tungsten halogen transmitted base illumination. It has a coaxial fine focusing knob and a coarse focusing knob on both of its microscope sides.

This type of geological polarizing microscope has a fine adjustment division of 0.002mm. It also has tension adjustable coarse focusing properties. Likewise, it has a rack and pinion steel gears used for focus movement. This microscope has an adjustable screw stop that limits the coarse range to protect the specimens. The compound trinocular polarizing geological microscope has a built in Bertrand Lens. It also has a built in analyzer and is rotatable to up to 90 degrees with graduation marks in every 1 degree for the full 90 degrees. It has a transmitted light polarizer that is also fully rotatable up to 360 degrees. It has graduation marks of every 5 degrees for the full 360 degrees. With this type of geological polarizing microscope, you can also readily and easily choose between brightfield and polarizing light as one of its special features. The compound geological microscope has a trinocular port which allows the researcher or the geologist to photograph geologic specimens. With this microscope, you can also capture images and display them in the monitor of your computer or the television through a USB port. Tjis geological polarizing compound microscope produces high resolution images that can be captured, videotaped and stored for future reference and use. All of such advantages and ease in geological work are attainable with the help of this compound trinocular geologic polarizing microscope.
