XUP400 Optical Polarizing Microscope
The XUP400 is a series of optical polarizing microscopes for mineralogy, geology, materials science and quality control.
Product Overview
The XUP400 is a series of optical polarizing microscopes for mineralogy, geology, materials science and quality control. It uses infinity-plan objectives and a rotatable polarizing unit to analyse birefringent materials. The XUP400 is available with binocular or trinocular heads, and accepts a range of optional objectives, filters and mechanical stages.
- HeadBinocular / Trinocular
- Interpupillary distance48mm~76mm
- ObjectivePLAN 4X/0.10, PLAN 10X/0.25, PLAN 20X/0.40(S), PLAN 40X/0.66(S), PLAN 60X/0.80(S), LPL 5X/0.13, LPL 10X/0.25, LPL 20X/0.40, LPL 50X/0.70(S)
- NosepieceQuintuple (center adjustable)
- POL Media AnalyzerRotatable 360°, module type
- Bertrand lensBuilt In Center adjustable
Key Benefits
- Seidentopf binocular or trinocular heads offer ergonomic viewing and camera attachment
- Infinity-plan objectives reduce image distortion and maintain resolution across the field
- Rotatable POL media analyzer with 360° locking lets the operator select the angle of analysis
- Built-in Bertrand lens aids in the identification of birefringent materials
- Coaxial coarse and fine focus with 2μm fine division for precise sample positioning
Application Scenarios
- Identifying minerals in thin sections for petrographic analysis
- Examining polymer films for stress patterns and orientation
- Quality control of crystals and birefringent materials
- Teaching polarized light microscopy techniques in geology and materials science
- Analyzing fibre orientation in textiles and composites
Who It Is For
- Geology and mineralogy laboratories
- Materials science research and development
- Polymer and plastics quality control
- Pharmaceutical and chemical analysis
- Educational institutions teaching materials science and microscopy
Problems It Solves
- A fixed polarizing unit limits the angles of analysis for certain materials
- Non-infinity objectives suffer from field curvature and chromatic aberration
- Difficult sample positioning slows down analysis and reduces accuracy
- Lack of a Bertrand lens complicates the identification of certain minerals
- Poor ergonomics lead to operator fatigue during long observation sessions
Technical Features
- Seidentopf binocular or trinocular head inclined at 30° and rotatable 360°
- Quintuple nosepiece with center adjustable function
- Rotatable POL media analyzer, module type, with locking mechanism
- Built-in Bertrand lens, center adjustable
- Revolving round stage with 360° rotation, 1° division, and 6' vernier scale

Comparison With Other Options
| Microscope without polarizing unit | The XUP400 adds a full polarizing unit with analyser, Bertrand lens and rotatable stage for birefringent material analysis. |
|---|---|
| Simple polarizing microscope | The XUP400 uses infinity-plan objectives for improved image quality and reduced distortion compared to finite objectives. |
| Digital microscope | The XUP400 offers a traditional optical path for high-resolution observation, while digital microscopes may have lower resolution. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the interpupillary distance is set between 48mm and 76mm for comfortable viewing
- Use the coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs for precise sample positioning
- Adjust the polarizing unit and analyser to control the contrast and visibility of birefringent materials
- Select the appropriate objective magnification for the sample and application
- Use the filters to enhance specific features or reduce glare
