10X Dispersion Staining Objective (DSO) 289-F2

Description

The 10X Dispersion Staining Objective (SKU: 289-F2) is a specialised, high-precision microscopy objective engineered for rapid, accurate asbestos identification and particle characterisation. Utilising central and annular stop dispersion staining techniques, this 10X objective allows lab technicians and materials analysts to identify transparent phase samples based on their distinct optical dispersion properties.

Engineered for rapid, accurate asbestos identification and particle characterisation, this 10X objective utilises central and annular stop dispersion staining techniques, allowing lab technicians and materials analysts to identify transparent phase samples based on their distinct optical dispersion properties.

Designed for seamless integration into standard polarised light microscopes (PLM), the 10X Dispersion Staining Objective provides exceptional optical contrast for precise refractive index determination.

Technical Specifications & Key Features

• Optical Technique: Central Stop and Annular Stop Dispersion Staining

• Primary Application: Asbestos identification (NIOSH 9002 / EPA methods), mineralogy, and particle analysis

• Thread Fitting: Standard RMS thread mounts for polarised light microscopy (PLM) systems

Key Applications

Sourced from world-class optical manufacturers, the 10X Dispersion Staining Objective (SKU: 289-F2) is an essential tool for environmental testing laboratories, regulatory compliance facilities, and geological research institutes.

• Asbestos Identification: Fully compliant with recognised testing standards (including NIOSH 9002) for identifying chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, and other fibrous minerals.

• Particle Characterisation: Accelerates forensic analysis, pharmaceutical contaminant identification, and material verification.

• Refractive Index Determination: Operates seamlessly alongside certified high-dispersion refractive index liquids to determine the optical profiles of unknown solids.
