| MODEL | Microscope Axioskop 40 et platine THMS600 |
General description:
The Zeiss Axioskop 40 is a versatile optical microscope capable of meeting both routine imaging needs and those of more advanced applications, whether in transmission or reflection mode. The microscope is equipped with a high-definition camera. A wide range of accessories is also available to best meet the specific needs of the system being imaged, including a variety of objectives, polarizers, wave plates, and filters. The microscope is also equipped with a Linkam heating/cooling stage, enabling microscopic analysis at variable temperatures.
Applications:
Optical microscopy is often an excellent starting point for understanding a material. For example, the images obtained provide a quick and effective way to understand the various stages of a product’s formation by establishing relationships between morphology, microstructure, and properties.
Examples of applications include: observation of the morphology of polymer blends; studying molecular orientation and residual stresses through birefringence analysis (liquid crystals and polymers); observing phase transitions over temperature ramps; evaluating and optimizing time-dependent variables (such as crystallization) in material shaping; identifying contamination; determining the causes of product failure.
