Description
Introduction
Traditional polarizing microscopes are used in geology, mineralogy, metallography and geological exploration. However, with the deepening of various disciplines, more and more fields have put forward demands for polarizing microscopes, including not only industrial fields such as construction, material analysis, semiconductor production and detection, but also natural science fields such as forensic science, medical inspection and biological research.At the same time, the application space and extensibility of microscopes are required to be higher, and customized microscopes with higher image clarity, better contrast and higher efficiency are needed. Polarizing microscope HemeraPL is powerful and comfortable.
It is your reliable partner in scientific research and industrial inspection. It can realize many kinds of observation and provide excellent optical imaging quality.

Product Features
| Enhanced Infinity Corrected Optical System
The enhanced infinity system (EIS) of the HemeraPL consists of super wide field SFWF 10x25mm eyepieces, high numerical aperture 45mm parfocal objectives. This tube lens reduces the angle of the light rays passing through the optics and as a direct result significantly improves the chromatic aberration corrections and contrast. The objectives with larger diameter enable much higher numerical apertures improving the overall resolving power of the optical system For all these reasons the HemeraPL offers superior optical performance for the most demanding applications

| Objectives – Strain-free Optics Make Imaging More Accurate
With the deepening of the study of polarized light, the accuracy and repeatability of the data are increasingly required. Objective lens and condenser lens, as important components of the microscope, play a vital role in the imaging effect. As a polarizing microscope, not only does it require high resolution, but also a stress-free optical component, which ensures that the observed birefringence is from the sample and not from the optical element.
