Ore Trinocular Microscope (OR-02)
The Trinocular Ore Microscope is designed for detailed examination of opaque and semi-opaque minerals using both incident and transmitted illumination. It features a rigid mechanical structure with a trinocular observation head for visual study and documentation. A complete polarizing optical system, precision rotating stage, coaxial focusing, adjustable condenser, and halogen illumination enable accurate analysis of mineral textures, reflectance behavior, and optical characteristics in geological and metallurgical laboratories.

Working Principle
The Trinocular Ore Microscope operates by directing incident or transmitted light from the halogen source through a graduated polarizer to generate polarized illumination. When light interacts with ore specimens on the rotating stage, variations in reflectance and anisotropy become visible. The analyzer, compensators, and Bertrand lens allow detailed optical evaluation, while precise focusing and controlled illumination ensure consistent, high-contrast observation.
