Reveal hidden structures with the power of polarized light. The Bresser Science MPO 401 Microscope is a professional-grade polarized light microscope designed for advanced mineralogy, biology, and medical applications. By using light that vibrates in a specific direction, this microscope reveals anisotropic structures—such as crystals, nerve fibers, feathers, and plant cells—that are invisible under normal brightfield conditions.

It features a fully rotatable and center-adjustable stage with degree scale, allowing precise control of sample orientation. A powerful 20W halogen lamp with field diaphragm enables Köhler illumination, while a 360° rotatable polarizer/analyzer system delivers exceptional contrast and color effects. This trinocular microscope includes a wide range of optical components including 4 DIN plan achromatic objectives, Amici-Bertrand lens, and optional accessories like lambda plates and a quartz wedge. With sharp, true-color images and professional controls, the MPO 401 sets a new standard in polarized light microscopy.
