ECLIPSE Ci POL
Gallery
Overview
The Nikon Eclipse Ci POL is a compact and reliable polarizing microscope designed for routine analysis and advanced polarimetry in fields such as geology, materials science, and education. Built with Nikon’s CFI60 infinity optical system, it delivers sharp, high-contrast images with excellent color fidelity. Its ergonomic design features smooth focusing controls, a 360° rotating stage, and a built-in Bertrand lens for both orthoscopic and conoscopic observation. With a 30 W halogen illumination system, a centerable quintuple nosepiece, and strong mechanical stability, the Ci POL offers precise polarization performance while remaining easy to operate. It is an ideal choice for laboratories that need high-quality polarized imaging in a compact and user-friendly platform.
