Strainoptics Polarimeters for Glass Seals
Strainoptics offers two polarimeter systems designed for measuring stress at glass seals, the PS-100-MW Polarimeter and the DIAS-1600 Digital Image Analysis System.
PS-100-MW Microscope/Polarimeter System. Supplied with a 75mm high-intensity LED light source, a 20x microscope and a measuring wedge assembly with digital readout.
The DIAS-1600 Digital Stress Analyzer is a machine-vision, PC-based workstation for off-line stress inspection. Measurement results are reported for individual points, as graphs of stress vs. position along any line, or as full-field color-coded quantitative stress maps.
Use of the DIAS-1600 provides the following benefits:
- Quantitative retardation/birefringence or stress measurements in a user-friendly, menu-driven PC format
- Easy visual inspection, eliminating errors and decisions based on the user’s visual judgement
- Reproducible, accurate results
- Automatic calibration
