Leica Visoria P

Advanced Polarized Light Microscopy for Geology, Mineralogy, and Material Analysis

The Leica Visoria P is a precision polarization microscope designed to analyze birefringent materials such as minerals, rocks, coal, plastics, and polymers. With encoded optics, ergonomic design, and seamless integration with Leica’s Enersight software, it’s ideal for applications in petrography, mineralogy, asbestos testing, and more. Its advanced polarization techniques enable accurate identification of crystal structures, optical axes, and internal stress patterns—supporting high-precision material evaluation in both research and industrial environments.

The microscope’s smart illumination system automatically adjusts brightness and contrast as magnification changes, allowing users to maintain focus on analysis without manual fine-tuning. Multiple Bertrand lens modules support conoscopic observation, while specialized objectives—like oil immersion lenses for coal or dispersion staining objectives for asbestos—offer tailored performance for critical workflows.

Visoria P also supports comfortable, digital-ready work with an ergonomic layout and optional eyepiece-free configuration. Technicians and scientists can view and capture images directly on a tablet, promoting relaxed posture, reducing bench clutter, and enhancing collaboration.

Key Features:

• Precision Polarized Light Analysis: Evaluate birefringent materials with clarity and accuracy.

• Conoscopy Options: Choose from multiple Bertrand lens modules for detailed optical evaluation.

• Smart Illumination: Encoded settings automatically adjust brightness and contrast when changing magnification or contrast modes.

• Specialized Objectives:

  • Oil-immersion for coal analysis

  • Dispersion staining for asbestos detection

• Ergonomic & Digital-Ready Design:

  • Adjustable controls for long-session comfort

  • Eyepiece-free viewing and tablet-based image capture

Fully integrated with Enersight, the Visoria P makes documentation and analysis more efficient. Users can perform high-resolution image capture, extended depth of field (EDOF) stacking, XY stitching, and automatic brightness correction through a single interface. This integration supports repeatable workflows and produces publication-quality images.

Powered by Enersight:

• Quick brightness optimization and shading correction

• High-resolution image capture and documentation

• EDOF stacking and XY image stitching

• Fluorescence and contrast method overlays

• TWAIN-compatible for LIMS/HIS integration

Applications:
