Ore Binocular Microscope (OR – 01)

The Ore Binocular Microscope (OR-01) is a specialized polarizing microscope designed for detailed ore and mineral analysis. It features both incident and transmitted illumination, allowing clear observation of opaque as well as transparent mineral samples. The binocular head can be replaced with a monocular or trinocular head, making it adaptable for teaching, research, and photomicrography.

Equipped with a Bertrand lens, sliding analyzer, and ½ & ¼ wave compensators, it supports advanced optical studies. The 0–360° rotatable stage with vernier ensures precise specimen orientation, while the N.A. 1.25 adjustable condenser provides controlled illumination.

A built-in 6V/20W halogen lamp with solid-state intensity control offers stable, bright lighting. The OR-01 comes with paired eyepieces (5x cross, 10x, and optional 15x) and objectives (P5x, P10x, P40x/45x), delivering sharp, high-contrast images essential for accurate ore identification and petrographic research.
