| We offer the full range of
Meiji Techno asbestos
microscopes for both Bulk
Fiber Identification by
polarized light microscopy
(PLM) and Asbestos Fiber
Counting by phase contrast
microscopy (PCM).
Bulk Fiber
Identification: You will
need the Meiji
Techno ML 6100
series that is
available in
monocular
(ML6100), binocular
(ML6120) or trinocular
(ML6130). All three
microscopes are approved under
NIOSH: 9002. PLM analysis
measures the percentage of
asbestos in bulk samples as
perceived by the
analyst against standard
projections, photographs or
experience. As a result,
results are dependent on the
skill, judgment and experience
of the analyst.
Asbestos Fiber
Counting: You will need
the Meiji
Techno ML6500 series
PCM microscopes that are also
available in the three
different configurations -
monocular
(ML6510) binocular
(ML6520) or
trinocular. All
three PCM microscopes are
approved under NIOSH: 7400 and
OSHA ID 160 reference
methods. PCM analysis offers a
quick and effective on-site
determination of concentration
of asbestos fibers in the air.
Since it does not
differentiate between asbestos
and other fibers, positive I.D
of asbestos fiber requires PLM
or electron microscopy.
