JPL1350HBG Petrological Microscope

The JPL1350HBG model stands out as an exceptional petrological microscope suitable for educational use, amateur interest, and small-scale research. Its binocular design, transmitted light source, and polarising capabilities, make it ideal for examining materials such as geological thin sections.

With its binocular head housing 10X eyepieces and a crosshair, as well as 4 achromatic, strain-free, centerable objectives (4X, 10X, 40X, 100X), the microscope empowers you with a magnification range spanning from 40X to 1000X. These achromatic objectives work to eliminate any blurriness when viewing slides.

Included is a standard rotating centre stage that enables you to spin slides a full 360 degrees, maximising your observation of slides and crystal reactions when exposed to cross-polarised light. Moreover, the microscope comes equipped with a rotatable polariser.

Fueled by a 6-volt, 20-watt transmitted light source employing a halogen bulb, the microscope grants you control over the light source’s tension through coarse and fine focus adjustments, complemented by a limit stopper.

Collectively, these comprehensive features establish the JPL1350HBG model as an outstanding petrological microscope suitable for a diverse range of applications. Its affordability further ensures accessibility for amateur microscopists, schools, colleges, hobbyists, and more. Kindly note that there is an estimated lead time of several weeks for procuring this product.

We also supply thin sections of various rocks and minerals that would make a fantastic compliment to this microscope. Click HERE to view them.
