Figure 1: Polarized light microscopy Meiji – MT9930

Study of minerals in rock thin sections. It is designed to observe and photograph specimens that are visible primarily due to their optically anisotropic character.

Figure 2: Polarized light microscopy Meiji – MT9930

Study of minerals in rock thin sections. It is designed to observe and photograph specimens that are visible primarily due to their optically anisotropic character.

Figure 3: Stereo microscope 2-eye Meiji - EMZ-5D

Stereomicroscopy overlaps macrophotography for recording and examining solid samples with complex surface topography, where a three-dimensional view is needed for analyzing the detail.
