Instrument that allows you to magnify samples up to 1000x through the use of the visible spectrum and a series of lenses.
The optical microscope is one of the basic tools in laboratories that perform characterizations on polymers and elastomers, for a great variety of uses.
The Plastlab laboratory exploits this technique to identify macroscopic defects on the sample and evaluate the type of filler contained within a component. It is also possible to evaluate the size and quality of defects and the thickness of paints.
