Portable Polariscope With Flashlight & Case

Part # 161.155 Out of Stock Weight -- lb -- g
Current price $58.85

This portable polariscope is designed to differentiate between singly refractive (isotropic) and doubly refractive (anisotropic) stones. By placing a gemstone between two polarizing filters and rotating the top lens, you can observe characteristic light reactions that reveal important optical properties—an essential test in gem identification.

Features

  • Determines isotropic vs. anisotropic gemstones
  • Rotating top polarizing lens for observing optical reactions
  • Diffused bottom lens for even light distribution
  • Includes removable auxiliary lens (non-magnifying)
  • Flashlight attaches securely to base with screw fitting
  • Compact, portable design for bench or field use
  • Includes zippered storage case
