Nikon P-CL coaxial Illuminator (65465)

The Nikon P-CL Coaxial Illuminator is an accessory designed to provide coaxial episcopic illumination for Nikon polarizing microscopes. This type of illuminator directs light along the same optical axis as the observation path, making it ideal for viewing and imaging the surface features of opaque or reflective samples. Coaxial illumination is especially useful in applications such as materials science, metallurgy, and semiconductor inspection, where detailed surface observation without shadows is required.

Provides coaxial episcopic illumination by directing light along the optical axis, enabling the observation of surface details on opaque or reflective specimens without introducing shadows.

Compatibility:
Designed for use with Nikon polarizing microscopes, such as the ECLIPSE Ci POL and LV100N POL series. It can be combined with other illumination systems, including diascopic (transmitted light) and episcopic (reflected light) techniques.

Key Features:

• Delivers shadow-free, uniform illumination for clear observation of surface structures

• Particularly suitable for thick, polished, or metallic samples that require detailed surface imaging

• Easily integrated with Nikon microscopes equipped for polarizing and reflected light observation

• Can be used in conjunction with compensators and polarization accessories for advanced analysis

Applications:
Materials science and metallurgy for examining polished sections and metal surfaces
Semiconductor and electronics inspection for observing microstructures and defects
Geology and mineralogy for analyzing opaque minerals
Quality control and failure analysis in industrial environments

This illuminator is essential for users who need high-quality, shadow-free imaging of reflective or opaque samples, supporting both routine inspections and advanced research tasks.
