The OR-01 Ore Microscope is designed for reflected and transmitted light examination of opaque and semi-opaque materials. It features a rigid mechanical structure with a binocular observation head, complete polarizing optics, and precise stage rotation. The microscope integrates coaxial focusing, adjustable condenser, graduated polarizer, and halogen illumination, enabling controlled analysis of mineral textures, grain boundaries, and optical properties in geological and metallurgical laboratories.

The OR-01 Ore Microscope operates by directing incident or transmitted halogen illumination through a graduated polarizer to produce polarized light. This light interacts with ore specimens mounted on the rotating stage, revealing reflectance, anisotropy, and texture variations. The analyzer, compensators, and Bertrand lens enable detailed optical evaluation. Co-axial focusing and controlled illumination ensure accurate observation of mineralogical and metallurgical characteristics.
