Reflection Polariscopes

030 Series Modular Reflection Polariscope System

 

The 030 Series Modular Polariscope System has been the reflection polariscope standard in both industrial and educational laboratories for the past 25 years. Its modular design permits a broad range of strain measurement capabilities. For example, the polariscope can be equipped with a null-balance compensator as well as a digital strain indicator/printer (shown here). And, measurements made on small parts or in regions of high stress concentration are both easier and more accurate when the optional telemicroscope accessory is attached. The standard light source used with the 030 Series for static measurements is replaceable with an optional stroboscopic light accessory for dynamic measurements.

Model 040 Direct Digital Display Reflection Polariscope System

 

The Model 040 is an innovative reflection polariscope incorporating numerous built-in features. These include an integral null-balance compensator and associated electronics for direct display of measurements of both stress and strain. Compact and portable, this instrument can be operated either from an ac power line or 12 Vdc automobile battery.

Detailed specifications for both instruments are given in Bulletin S-134, PhotoStress Instrumentation.
