An optional set of test samples for the HSM60 Polariscope consisting of a Perforated Beam, Bar Specimen and Bending Element Overlap. Specimens are made from CR39 photoelastic material which is a highly specialised reactive plastic polymer- commonly used in lens manufacture. A variety of specimens can be optionally supplied and each one in turn is mounted into the loaded mechanism using quick connect joints.
