Dual Wavelength Polarimeter
The Autopol II is designed as a general purpose, automatic, dual wavelength polarimeter for budget focused pharmacuetical, contract, food and chemistry laboratories. Packed with features the Autopol II offers the same standard and optional features as the Autopol I but allows greater wavelength flexibility with 589nm and 546nm standard wavelengths and optional 365nm, 405nm, 436nm, 578nm, and 633nm available. The Autopol II features a built in thermoprobe for temperature and optional TempTrol automatic electronic heating and cooling.
Quality Components
High quality polarizing prisms are important because prisms are two of the most critical optical components in the polarimeter. Polaroid prisms are made of a polymeric plastic where the molecules are stretched and oriented in a specific direction so as to linearly polarize light. These types of plastic sheet polarizers are very inexpensive and are vulnerable to heat, warp over time, deteriorate from moisture, and also have greater light absorption than Calcite Polarizers. In many cases, the plastic polarizers must be replaced in 3- 5 years. Glan Thompson Calcite Polarizers are comprised of a carbon crystalline structure similar to diamond and have excellent light transmission characteristics.
Polarimeter Sample Temperature
The Autopol I comes with a temperature probe so that sample temperature can be displayed and printed. However, If you need to control temperature, The Autopol I-T, should be selected as this has the TempTrol temperature control system.
