Best Polarizing Microscopes in 2026

A compact multi-purpose microscope with dual illumination and simple polarization for observation of metals, plastics, and biological samples.

A combination of six metallurgical and biological plan-achromatic objective lenses and two sets of eyepieces provide a range of magnifications from 40X to 800X

Use a combination of brightfield and simple polarization to bring out complex details such as stress in metal and other materials.
