Research Trinocular Ore Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/29) is a trinocular research microscope used to examine ore and mineral specimens in geology, mining and materials laboratories. University departments choose it for its 360° round stage read to 0.1° with a vernier and its set of gypsum, mica and quartz wedge compensators. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory instruments supplier in India serving colleges and research institutes.

An ore microscope lets geology and mining students study ore minerals, their textures and the way grains intergrow in prepared specimens. The 45° trinocular head gives relaxed two-eye viewing while the third port stays free for one of the optional cameras, so a whole class can follow the same field on a computer screen.
The graduated round stage does most of the measuring work: turn the specimen through 360°, read the angle on the 1° scale and refine it to 0.1° with the vernier. Slide in the gypsum, mica or quartz wedge compensator to judge interference colours and retardation, use the cross eyepiece to centre a grain and the grid eyepiece to estimate grain sizes and proportions.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies this ore microscope from Ambala, Haryana, to universities, geology institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Tell us the objective and camera configuration you need and we will quote exactly that set-up. Buyers completing vendor registration can use the supplying company's Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

What objectives does the Research Trinocular Ore Microscope have?
The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope carries 4x, 10x, 25/40x and 60/63x objectives on a quadruple nosepiece. The 25/40x and 60/63x positions are listed as alternatives, so state the magnification you want in each position when you request a quotation.
Which eyepieces come with the Research Trinocular Ore Microscope?
The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope is listed with three 10x / 20 mm eyepieces: a plain eyepiece for general viewing, a cross (partition) eyepiece for centring and alignment, and a grid eyepiece for estimating grain sizes and proportions within the field.
What compensators are included with this ore microscope?
The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope includes a gypsum compensator of 1λ, a mica compensator of ¼λ and a quartz wedge. Placed in the light path, these plates help the user judge interference colours and retardation during polarised-light examination of minerals.
How precisely can the stage angle be read?
The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope has a revolving round stage of approximately 160 mm diameter that turns through 360°. It is graduated in 1° steps, and a vernier gives a least count of 0.1°, which suits extinction-angle and orientation measurements.
Can a camera be fitted to the Research Trinocular Ore Microscope?
Yes. The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope has a trinocular head, and two cameras are offered as optional accessories: a digital high-resolution photographic camera with microscope adapter, and a digital CMOS camera with high colour depth that shows live images on a computer.
Is a calibration certificate available for this microscope?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Research Trinocular Ore Microscope should be discussed with us before ordering. Mention the requirement in your enquiry through the contact page and we will tell you what documentation can accompany the instrument.
Who supplies the Research Trinocular Ore Microscope?
The Research Trinocular Ore Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company handles orders from institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets, from single units to departmental quantities.
