Model 243 Polariscope
Article No. 11978
Polariscope 6" With Tint Plate
The Model 243 Polariscopes are essential tools for determining strain patterns developed during fabrication, manufacture, or use. As polarized light travels through strained glass or plastic, it undergoes a retardation proportional to the amount of stress. A polariscope is an instrument which can be used to qualitatively view this retardation.
Features
- The instrument has a generous 5.75" diameter polarizer
- The unit plugs into standard 115-125 volt wall sockets.
- A voltage convertor for 220 volt is available.
- It can be used to check production items; or in Quality Control to check incoming materials and parts.
- They are used to inspect glass welds and bends for strains or flaws. The degree of annealing in fabricated glassware can be shown using the Model 243.
