2D Birefringence Measurement System

PA-300Series

PA series measures birefringence and phase difference with high resolution of 5 million pixels at high speed, for low phase difference with a measurement range of 0 to 130 nm.
Suitable for measurement of glassware and other low phase difference targets.
Ranging from microscopic to macroscopic (～50cm), the field of view adapts to any measurement situation, and there is a system for each size.
