Nikon P2-POL Polarization filter set (65512)

The Nikon P2-POL Polarization Filter Set is an accessory designed for use with Nikon stereo microscopes, such as the SMZ25 and SMZ18, to enable polarized light observation. This set is essential for applications in materials science, geology, biology, and quality control where examining birefringent or stress-affected materials is required. By using polarized light, users can enhance contrast and reveal features in samples that are not visible under standard illumination. The filter set is easy to install and integrates seamlessly with compatible Nikon microscope bases and objectives.

 
Enables polarized light microscopy, allowing for the observation and analysis of birefringent materials and enhanced contrast in a wide range of samples.

Components and Function:

• The polarizer is attached to the base or stand of the microscope, while the analyzer is mounted to the objective.

• This configuration allows polarized light to pass through the sample, revealing optical properties such as birefringence, stress patterns, and internal structures that are otherwise invisible.

• The set is designed for straightforward attachment and removal, making it suitable for both routine and advanced research applications.

Compatibility:
Compatible with Nikon SMZ25 and SMZ18 stereo microscopes and their associated bases and objectives.

Key Features:

• Enhances image contrast and reveals hidden features in birefringent and stress-affected samples

• Supports both qualitative and quantitative analysis in materials science, geology, biology, and industrial inspection

• Simple installation and integration with Nikon’s modular microscope systems

• Can be used in combination with other observation accessories, such as darkfield units or fluorescence filter cubes

Applications:
Analysis of minerals, crystals, and polymers
Quality control in materials science and metallurgy
Biological studies of tissues and fibers with birefringent properties
Research and education in geology and material characterization

This polarization filter set is a valuable tool for anyone needing to perform polarized light microscopy, providing enhanced visualization and analysis capabilities for a wide variety of scientific and industrial samples.
