Strainoptics Polarimeter PS-100-SF w/ Microscope ++ NICE ++
This sale is for a Nice Strainoptics Polarimeter/Polariscope Model PS-100-SF with Microscope Model MISC-100. This unit is in good working condition and comes as pictured. For more information check Strainoptics website.
PS-100-SF - comprising a polarized illuminator with a 7.5 in x 7.5 in (190 mm x 190 mm) sample stage with both plane and circular polarization, Senarmont analyzer mounted on a 12 (300 mm) heavy-duty post, fluorescent tube light source and vertical light path and swing-out accessory shoe for holding ompensators or tint plates.
The PS-100-SF models are supplied with an SA-100 analyzer with a two-position quarter-wave plate that allows for analyzer rotation measurements using either plane (Senarmont) or circular (Tardy) polarization.
The PS-100 product line is modular to suit a wide variety of applications in evaluating residual stress, strain and birefringence in transparent and translucent materials. Uses range from simple inspection and interpretation of photoelastic colors to precise quantitative measurements using analyzer rotation or compensation techniques.
* Verify annealing state of glass or plastic
containers, tubing, lenses, lamps, etc.
* Measure optical retardation in order to calculate
stress or birefringence using plane or circular
* Study distribution and magnitude of compressive
and tensile stresses in float glass, glass seals,
quartz, and advanced materials, as well as in
* Comply with worldwide polarimetry standards
and test methods, including ASTM C148, F218,
PS-100 Polarimeters may be fitted with:
* Single-wedge (Babinet) or double-wedge (Babinet-Soleil) compensators
* A full-wave tint plate or monochromatic filter
* Microscopes with rack-and-pinion mounting and choice of magnification options
* Industrial CCD cameras with macro-video zoom lenses for displaying magnified high-resolution images on LCD monitors, either stand-alone or via IEEE 1394 to PC
* A high-intensity, regulated DC fiberoptic light source, adjustable from 0-150 W
* Vibration-dampening boom stands for samples under high magnification and cantilevered designs for outsized samples
* Strainoptics DIAS-1600 Digital Image Analysis System for automatic measurement of low-order stress and birefringence
* Custom fixturing and immersion cells for special sample geometries
