VISPOL-Series Full-Circle Manual Polarimeters

The S+H VISPOL-Series Manual Polarimeters feature full circular scales of ±180°.
With the use of the Vernier scale, rotations can be measured to an accuracy of 0.1°
(an experienced user can potentially achieve accuracy of 0.05°). The rugged design
allows for heavy use at the instructional level.
Measurements are made by rotating the Vernier scale disc with the coarse/fine
controls; which, in turn, adjusts the analyzer. The large diameter of the Vernier scale
disc allows for highly sensitive comparisons of half shadows resulting in accuracy
typically not possible with manual polarimeters.

The optical assembly (Vernier scale disc, polarizer, analyzer, & sample compartment)
is tilted 15° from horizontal. This results in more convenient and comfortable
operation.
The polarizer is fitted with a thin, high-quality, 2-part quartz disc which produces
the divided (2 half shadows) field of view. The half shadow angle is dependent on
the light source used. With sodium light (l=589nm) it’s 8°, and 9.5° for mercury
light (l=546nm). When the 2 half shadows are view during measurements,
right-shadow shading indicates a dextrorotatory sample and left-side shading
indicates a levorotatory sample.
Two types of light sources are available. Halogen lamp light sources coupled with
interference filters are less expensive. Due to the longer life of halogen lamps and
instant operation, this style is the preferred choice for instructional and general
testing. A sodium arc lamp light source is also available for absolute accuracy.

A wide selection of S+H samples cells and quartz control plates are also available.
Schmidt +Haensch has been manufacturing precision opto-electronic instruments
since 1864. All S+H instruments are manufactured in Germany.
