Algal Remains in a Petroleum Source Rock

The Zeiss Axiophot Research Microscope with infinity color correction, white/blue/UV- light capabilities, microprocessor photometric and photographic controls for general reflected-light microscopy at 400X and 500X magnification using oil immersion or air objectives. This is a basic microscope for the characterization of coals, carbons and petroleum source rocks. As shown to the right, blue light excitation allows for the identification of algal remains in petroleum source rocks of the Congo Basin.
