PHILIPPINES POLARIZING MICROSCOPES

Recently the need for Polarizing Microscopes has increased.  Government organizations as well as private institutions, freelancers and practitioners advanced their field of study using polarized light microscopes (PLM). 

The study, analysis and the identifications of the optical properties of rocks and minerals on microscopes slides are the main applications of Polarizing or Petrography (rock imaging) microscopes.

Geological studies become more enhancing because of the presence of these geological microscopes.  Geologists who study the solid matter that constitute the earth, it’s physical properties, history and the processes that shapes the earth are more confident,  accurate and conclusive in establishing their studies.

A welcome development in the Philippines is the advancement in geological studies, mining, oil, and petroleum explorations.  The University of the Philippines instituted our locally breed yet internationally competent geologists who uses our Polarizing microscopes in their fields of concern.  The vision of the Philippine government of having a sufficient supply of fuel and energy in the coming years, by conducting oil and petroleum explorations, was made feasible by the technology of our polarized light microscopes.

The most commonly used geological microscopes are polarizing, petrographic and ore microscopes.  Polarizing microscopes are preferred because its main application is in the study of rocks and minerals.  Polarizing microscopes provides light from the bottom and transmit it through the thin section of birefringent specimen on the microscopes slides.

Our microscopes are equipped with Bertrand lens system with a polarizer, an analyzer and compensator plates such as gypsum, mica and quartz which allows sample to be studied in a cross-polarized light or in a plane polarized light.  Some other functions are: identifying specimen in biological and medical research, viewing urine crystals, biochemistry, oil and petroleum exploration and geological engineering.

These are some of the reputable institutions that were benefitted by our products:  University Of The Philippines Diliman Diliman  National Institute of Geological Sciences (NIGS), Philippines National Museum, Philippines National Oil Corporation (PNOC), Free Port Mc Moran Exploration, EXXOMOBIL Exploration and Production, Philippines and the Association of Filipinos in the Advancement of Geosciences, Inc.

FORENSIC COMPARISON MICROSCOPES

The rise in criminalities and the establishments of Schools in Criminology around the country makes Forensic Science more interesting and exciting. This field of discipline mainly used Forensic Comparison Microscopes for applications such as: ballistics, handwriting specimen, finger prints, hairs, fibers and other material evidences which will help solve the crime by giving factual evidences linking to a suspect. Some other applications such as; document examination, fire investigation and arson get bests results from Forensic Comparison Microscopes.Forensic microscopy innovate the field of Forensic Science. Microscopy, is the science of using microscopes on several fields of studies. With the aid of microscopes a person can be proven guilty or not on the criminal charges against him. Innocent people can be freed and those that are guilty be put behind bars. The most important benefit in using microscopes especially in law enforcement is that of carrying out true and accurate judgment.

Forensic Comparison Microscope is commonly used for solving criminalities. Schools, colleges and universities and other scientific fields including archeology and paleontology also use comparison microscopes.

Forensic Comparison Microscopes use two objects or samples to be compared side by side, connected by an optical bridge in which the user can view both the specimens through the eyepiece. The images from the Forensic Comparative Microscopes can be seen simultaneously in a computer monitor or TV screen via CCD dual camera.  Viewing the samples simultaneously allow the user to compare if the two specimens in a split-screen image to be different or identical.

Ballistics investigations conducted in the crime laboratories require comparison and analysis in  bullets, bullet casings and firing pins. Forensic Comparison Microscopes are use inorder to have an accurate comparison and conclusions on the subject under examination.

Forensic evidences collected in the crime scene are called trace evidence. Two or more objects that come into contact left traces of themselves and among others. Trace evidence is too small for the naked eye to compare and examine without magnification. Fibers, tool marks, hair, skin cells, body fluid samples, soil, ink and other tiny samples requires magnification for a more accurate result.
