Diascopic illumination type

The newly developed high-intensity 50W halogen light source is brighter than a conventional 100W halogen lamp. Low power comsumption means less heat generation, thereby reducing the chance of heat-induced focus drift.

Improved body shape realizes higher robustness. Due to the newly designed stage mount, the LV100POL achieves double rigidity compared to the conventional model.

Nosepiece comes with a DIN standard compensator slot to accept various compensators for advanced quantitative measurements. All five objectives are centerable.

The intermediate tube incorporates a Bertrand lens, enab both observation and capture of conoscopic and orthoscopic images.

Both diascopic and episcopic polarizing observations are possible by mounting the LV-UEPI universal epi-illuminator. Switching the illumination technique is a simple operation. The epi-illuminator uses the same lamphouse as the diascopic illuminator using the 12V-50W lamp as standard, which provides brighter illumination than a conventional 100W lamp. With an optional universal-type nosepiece and DIC accessories including objectives, episcopic differential interference contrast （DIC） microscopy is also possible.
