A polarizing microscope is a type of optical microscope that uses polarized light to enhance the contrast and visibility of a specimen. It is used primarily in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, and geology. Polarizing microscopes are used to observe the optical properties of minerals, such as birefringence, pleochroism, and extinction angle. The microscope is also used to identify minerals, measure strain and stress, and observe the effects of heat treatment.
Polarizing microscopes can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the features and the manufacturer. The most popular manufacturers of polarizing microscopes are Nikon, Olympus, and Leica. These manufacturers offer a variety of models with different features and price points. Nikon and Olympus offer entry-level models for around $500, while Leica's higher-end models can cost upwards of $10,000. All of these manufacturers provide excellent quality and performance in their microscopes.
