Product Introduction

The TS-HSP1 Hot Stage Polarized Microscope is an integrated system combining a transmitted/reflected polarizing microscope with a precision constant-temperature heating stage. The polarizing microscope uses polarized light to observe and analyze materials exhibiting birefringence, supporting single polarization, orthogonal (crossed-polarizer), and conoscopic observation modes.

The integrated heating stage extends this capability to thermal microscopy, enabling real-time observation and recording of melting, sublimation, crystallization, and other phase-transition behavior as the specimen is heated from room temperature up to 500°C. Together, the microscope and heating stage form a complete platform for the structural and thermal characterization of birefringent and thermally responsive materials, suited to both research and instructional use.

Key Features

Polarizing Microscope System

Infinity-corrected optical system with modular design and infinity long working-distance plan objectives, providing a wide, clear field of view.
Wide-field WF10X plan eyepieces (field number Φ22 mm) with a dedicated dividing eyepiece for precise centering.

Precision Constant-Temperature Hot Stage

24K gold stage surface that resists high-temperature ablation, oxidation, blackening, and spalling, and is resistant to acid and alkali without contaminating specimens.
Steel structure support providing drop and vibration resistance far superior to ceramic tube-supported designs.
