Petrology Microscopes

A petrologist uses microscopes and chemical tests to determine the nature of rocks and minerals. Microscope examination of a rock specimen mounted on a "thin section" slide is the principal technique used to identify the rock specimen. Further study can determine the components and features of the rock along with its composition, how it was formed and the geological setting of the rock.

Stained slices, hand specimens or loose grains of rocks and minerals can be examined with an ordinary incident light stereo microscope like our EMZ-13TR Stereo Microscope with PKL Stand. But thin sections are examined with a transmitted light polarizing microscope like Meiji's ML9000 Series.

**ML9000 Series Polarized Microscopes**
Meiji Techno offers three types of ML Series polarizing microscopes: ML9000 Series transmitted illumination models ML9400 Series incident and transmitted illumination models ML9700 Series transmitted illumination, 50 watt illuminator, rotatable analyzer and Senarmont compensator.
