Microscope Axio Imager M2

Polarizing microscope for observation in transmitted and reflected light with digital camera and image analysis software, with system for vitrinite reflectance measurement is part of an organic matter research system: Rock-Eval 7S pyrolytic apparatus completed with a polarizing microscope unit for studies in reflected light, equipped with a photometer for reflectance measurements.

A polarizing microscope is used for observing organic matter dispersed in sedimentary rocks and macerals in coals, in both transmitted and reflected light. The analysis is done on a polished rock fragment using immersion lenses with 50x and 100x magnification. The microscope is equipped with a TIDAS S photometric set for measuring the reflectance of organic matter and macerals. It also includes an Axiocam 305 digital camera and ZEN Toolkit photo processing software, which features machine learning algorithms such as Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Object Classification. Additionally, it has a self-centering illuminator and a mercury lamp with a power supply and filters for observing samples in blue light.
