OverviewExperience enhanced efficiency and comfort in routine polarized-light microscopy. The Visoria P polarization microscope is designed to analyze optical properties of birefringent and anisotropic materials such as minerals, rocks, polymers and composites. Encoded functions, automatic illumination settings and ergonomic design streamline laboratory workflows.
Key features- Optimized for birefringent (optically anisotropic) materials: minerals, rocks, coal, plastics, polymers, liquid crystals, glass and concrete.
- Encoded functions and light management: illumination parameters are applied automatically when magnification or contrast method changes.
- Ergonomic layout to reduce neck and back strain; symmetrical control positioning and optional ergonomic accessories.
Operate your microscope with ease- Match aperture diaphragm settings quickly using objective color markings.
- Built-in focus stop to protect samples and objectives from accidental contact.
- Three-gear focusing system (coarse, medium, fine) for precise control at high magnification.
Simplify documentationCapture sample images directly from the microscope stand. When storing images, selected system settings and metadata are saved automatically and a correctly scaled bar is embedded.
Digital operationThe Visoria P digital version operates without eyepieces: view and document images on a tablet, share results quickly and save bench space by removing the need for a dedicated PC.
Enersight software platform (integrated functions)Extend and streamline imaging workflows with Enersight. Key functions include:
- XY stitching (manual stage) to increase field of view at high resolution.
- Extended depth of field (EDOF) for sharp images of samples with topography.
- Quick Brightness to capture images with optimal illumination and camera settings.
- Automatic shading correction for uneven illumination.
- Multi-contrast image merging (e.g., brightfield + polarization) to improve sample interpretation.
Conoscopy and specialized analysisConoscopy capabilities allow evaluation of optical behavior of anisotropic materials. Available conoscopy modules:
- Bertrand lens cube
- Bertrand lens module (A/B module)
- Advanced conoscopy module
Specialized objectives & applicationsSpecial objectives support application-specific workflows: oil-immersion objectives for coal analysis and dispersion-staining objectives for asbestos detection.
Ergonomics & accessoriesOptional ergonomic accessories, including ErgoModules and ErgoLift, enable eyepiece height adjustment and comfortable working posture. Symmetrical layout and adjustable focus control height support aligned shoulders and optimal hand positioning.
Camera & imaging optionsDigital camera integrations (examples: Flexacam c5 / Flexacam i5) provide live viewing and image capture. C-mount adapters are supported for a range of camera options.
