Contrast methods

Microscopes are required for the examination of minerals, allowing a detailed insight into crystal systems, conglomerates and the tiniest inclusions. Microscopes which can both display details and structures as well as ensuring straightforward object handling are important for mineralogists. To optimise your observations, various illumination sources such as ring lights are available for perfect illumination. Polarized light is useful for the analysis of crystal structures, birefringence and other optical phenomena.

Immerse yourself in the beauty and complexity of minerals and expand your understanding of this exciting field.
