MAGUS Pol 890 Polarizing Microscope
Magnification 50–500x. Trinocular head, plan semi-apochromatic and plan apochromatic objectives. Transmitted and reflected light, light sources – 100W halogen bulbs, Köhler illumination in reflected and transmitted light. Bertrand lens and compensators
Microscope for scientific research and industrial inspection.
Designed to study objects in polarized and natural light. Installation of optional components will allow the use of the darkfield, phase contrast, and differential interference contrast tecniques in transmitted light as well as differential interference contrast and fluorescence in reflected light.
In the transmitted light, you can study geological specimens as well as anisotropic biological and polymeric specimens in thin sections.
In the reflected light – polished sections with one polished side. The thickness of the polished sections is arbitrary, usually 5–10mm. The microscope allows you to examine opaque objects up to 30mm thick.
A polarizing microscope uses the birefringence of anisotropic samples to deliver an image. Plane-polarized light, when passing through an anisotropic sample, splits into two rays, and changes the plane of polarization. The analyzer brings the oscillations of the beams into a single plane, which is where they interfere. The bright, high-contrast image changes color when the stage rotates.
The plan semi-apochromatic and plan apochromatic microscope objectives are free from internal strain. The intermediate tube holds the analyzer and Bertrand lens, and it has a slot for compensators.
The microscope is used in crystallography, petrography, mineralogy, forensics, medicine, and other fields of science.

Microscope head
Trinocular head with infinity-corrected optics. The user selects the most comfortable angle of inclination of the microscope head in a range of 0° to 35°. The digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube. The beam splits 0/100, 100/0, or 80/20.
The base kit includes 10x/22mm eyepieces with diopter adjustment and a long eye relief for working with glasses.
Revolving nosepiece
Five objective revolving nosepiece. A free slot is used for centering the light source. The user can also install an additional objective in the free slot of the revolver, which will allow them to obtain additional magnification.
The design of the revolving nosepiece (“toward the interior”) frees up space at the front of the stage, and so the user can see the objective inserted into the optical path. The revolving nosepiece slots are centered to align the optical axis of the objective and microscope.
Objectives
Infinity plan semi-apochromatic and plan apochromatic objectives are specifically designed for polarized light observations: The strain-free optics ensure that the birefringence comes from the sample and not from the optical elements. They provide better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration compared to plan achromatic objectives.
The 5x and 10x objectives are designed to work with or without a cover glass, 20x and 50x objectives are designed to work without a cover glass. The parfocal distance is 60mm.
Turret for installing contrast modules
The reflected light illuminator features a built-in turret. Three modules can be installed: one for transmitted light and two for reflected light. Rotating the turret changes the observation mode. Switching from one contrast technique to another occurs quickly and without complex settings.
Focusing mechanism
The coarse and fine focusing knobs are coaxial and located low. The researcher can place their hands on the table and take a comfortable position in front of the microscope.
The coarse focus lock knob helps you quickly adjust the microscope after changing the subject of study. The knob is located on the left side of the microscope on the same axis as the focusing mechanism.
The ring on the right side adjusts the tension of the coarse focusing travel. The user adjusts the comfortable tension for work.
Stage
The stage rotates 360° to view the color change of the sample when the polarizer and analyzer are in crossed orientation. The stage has a gradation of the rotation angle. Each 90° rotation from the current position is indicated by a click. With the vernier scale, measurements are made with an accuracy of 0.1°.
The stage can be centered with two screws because the analysis of an anisotropic object in polarized light requires the precise alignment of the rotation axis of the stage with the optical axis of the microscope.
Light source
100W halogen bulbs are used in both reflected and transmitted light illuminators. Halogen bulbs emit light at a color temperature comfortable for the eyes. The 100W lamp is bright enough to work with objectives ranging from 4x to 100x magnification in brightfield and polarized light.
Reflected light illumination
The illumination system makes it possible to set up the Köhler illumination. The field and aperture diaphragm are pre-centered at the factory and require no additional centering. If necessary, the diaphragms can be adjusted with centering screws. The light source is centered along three axes.
The analyzer and polarizer are used for the polarization microscopy technique. The polarizer is stationary, while the analyzer rotates 360° and has a vernier scale for precise angle setting.
A set of filters can help you adjust the color reproduction.
Transmitted light illumination
An adjustable field diaphragm, a centered and height-adjustable condenser with strain-free optics, an adjustable aperture diaphragm, and a flip-down lens realize the Köhler illumination adjustment. The flip-down lens is removed from the optical path for objectives with low magnification and returned back for objectives with magnification greater than 10x. The polarizer is 0–360° rotatable, with four rotation angles of 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° marks on the scale. The analyzer rotates 360°, the vernier scale on the analyzer ensures angle accuracy.
Köhler illumination in reflected and transmitted light
Setting up the Köhler illumination enhances the image quality of a specimen. With such illumination, you achieve maximum resolution on each objective. Even illumination of the field of view with no darkening at the edges. The object of study is in sharp focus, and the image artifacts are removed.
Studying samples in polarized light
The polarizer and analyzer are inserted into the light path to observe objects in polarized light. Use the scales of the analyzer and polarizer to set the desired crossed or parallel position of the polarizing devices. When the microscope stage is rotated, the refraction of light by the sample changes depending on the polarization angle.
The Bertrand lens is used for conoscopic studies.
Compensators are designed to enhance the contrast of samples with weak birefringence.
Accessories
There is a line of accessories designed for this microscope.
An optional plan apochromatic objective provides additional magnification.
Eyepieces extend the magnification range of the microscope. Additional eyepieces will help you achieve the useful magnification of the objective that is used most frequently.
Phase contrast attachments, epi-fluorescence attachments, darkfield condensers, and DIC devices expand the available microscopy techniques.
A digital camera outputs the microscope image to a monitor, store files, and software takes real-time measurements of specimens.
A calibration slide is used to measure objects, and it can be combined with the eyepiece with a scale or with the camera software.
