2. Description, technical data
The monocular polarisation microscope allows
two-dimensional viewing of objects (thin sec-
tions of rock, plant or animal specimen) in 40x to
400x magnification in polarised light.
Stand: Robust, all metal stand with arm perma-
nently connected to the base. Focussing by
means of separate knobs for coarse and fine
adjustment located on either side of the stand
and operated by rack and pinion drive with ball
bearings and retaining lever, adjustable stopper
for protecting the object slides and objective.

diameter, which can be rotated 360°, scale with
Vernier and 2 specimen clips
Illumination: Adjustable 6 V, 20 W halogen
lamp incorporated into the base, universal 85 to
265 V, 50/60 Hz power supply
