Research Polarizing Microscope are principal piece of equipment used by the Geologists to observe the optical properties of minerals. It has indispensable applications for petrography, crystallography, geology, mineralogy, ceramics, toxicology, chemical microscopy or detecting defects in semi-conductors, finding stress points in metals, glass & textiles etc.
