Polarization microscope for earth, material and forensic science

Overview

The Leica DM EP combines strain-free optics and precision-engineered polarizing mechanisms into an ergonomically advanced design that delivers accurate, high-contrast image quality for use in both university and laboratory settings. Leica incorporated a range of exclusive features into the DM EP, including a highly efficient Koehler illumination system that features a 35 W halogen bulb, a voltage sensing power supply that delivers optimized light intensity regardless of voltage fluctuations, an Analyzer/Bertrand Lens module with swing-in/out controls, a rotating swing-in/out polarizer and a centerable condenser. The microscope can easily be enhanced with a wide range of accessories that allow enhanced polarized microscopy applications and educational and analytical photomicrography.

Key Features

  • An Analyzer / Bertrand Lens module with swing-in/out controls and a stabilizing mechanism to provide proper orientation and ease of use for both Conoscopic and Orthoscopic observations
  • DIN standard full wave and quarter wave compensators with slide stops and ergonomic grips to improve efficiencies and ease of use (other compensators also available)
  • A 2000 hour/35 watt halogen lamp equipped with an illuminated intensity control system to signal users when the microscope has been left on- saving on lamp life
  • A selection of precision-engineered, strain-free POL objectives to provide brilliant image quality
  • A rear-facing nosepiece featuring 4 independently-centerable, strainfree objectives to ensure parcentricity for concentric rotations of specimens around the optical axis
  • A high precision 180mm diameter rotating stage marked in one degree increments and equipped with two verniers for accurate measurements to a tenth of a degree (attachable mechanical stage also available)
  • Verniers located 90 degrees apart on the right and left of the stage providing a direct view to simplify measurements of specimens during stage rotations
  • Durable, solid brass core focus knobs create inertia for fatigue-free focusing

An outstanding tool for fields ranging from Earth Sciences to Material Sciences and Forensics, the Leica DM EP offers a vast array of specialized features to make your polarized microscopy investigations easier and more accurate.
By employing strain-free optics and precision-engineered polarizing mechanisms, the Leica DM EP’s superior design ensures a concentric field of view and maximized extinction for all of your investigative needs.
And to combat the discomforts often associated with repetitive movements and extended viewing periods, the Leica DM EP’s highly adaptable, ergonomic design allows for comfortable use and easy manipulation of specimens.
