Birefringence measuring system EXICOR® MICROIMAGER™

The Hinds Birefringence Imaging Microscope is ideal for measuring birefringence in biological structures, glass, crystals, and many other organic and inorganic samples. Features: • No Dyes or Fluorescent labels required • Measures retardation, angle and intensity • Images retardation, angle and intensity • Allows color maps to be customized by user for optimal display of data • Allows maximum, average, and standard deviation over entire image and in user-selected areas or lines • View data by intensity, birefringence/retardation, angle, or combination • Histograms for statistical analysis • User calibration • Export of data in .csv and binary formats • Export of data from user selected areas • Export images in bit, png or tiff formats • Compatability with third party analysis tool, ImageJ → For highly birefringent samples, the Exicor® MicroImagerTM has the ability to measure up to 3500nm with 4 color configuration and up to 2400nm with 3 color configuration.
