PE fiber sheath Application for simple mechanical load; direct connector pre-assembly Polymer optical fiber (POF) has been on the market for many years. Both the fiber core and the cladding are made of polymer. Key advantages of polymer optical fibers are high flexibility (high alternate bending resistance with smaller bending radii) as well as more economical connecting and transmission techno...

MICROS Microscope Sliding Stage For the MICROS microscope Series MC100/300 there is a sliding stage available. This specimen stage consists of a round plate which is gliding on a grease film. Therefrom results the name “sliding stage”. The table can be moved by a guiding pin in the base plate. The object is fixed by specimen clamps. The advantage of this stage variant lies in the absolutely fre...
