Panthera TEC POL Series

Powerful Solutions for Incident and Transmitted Light Methods

The Panthera TEC POL series fills a last gap in the Panthera family: Polarization microscopes for all material sciences, ready to handle transparent samples like fibers and foils with their inherent birefringence.
