Meiji Coaxial Vertical Illumination Information

Coaxial illuminator, 1/4 wave plate, power supply

The coaxial vertical illuminator (shown at left) is used when observing flat, highly reflective specimens such as integrated circuits, semiconductor wafers, polished metal specimens, solder balls, or magnetic recording heads.

The coaxial vertical illuminator mounts between the Meiji RZB stereo body and the binocular viewing head and directs light from a 6v, 30w halogen lamp down through the objective onto the specimen.

The coaxial illuminator is powered by a free-standing transformer (shown at right).

A 1/4 wave plate (center above) is required when using the coaxial vertical illuminator to view reflective specimens. The quarter wave plate is attached to the bottom of the object and is rotated to acheive the desired effect.

Total magnification is increased by a factor of 1.5x when using the coaxial illuminator.
