Metallurgical Microscope
Looking for a new metallurgical microscope? We have the equipment you need. Thank you for visiting our site devoted to metallurgical microscopy. Take time to browse the different types of metallurgical and metallographic microscopes on our store. Be sure to contact one of our skilled microscopists who can make a professional recommendation to fill your metallurgical inspection needs. Our wide selection of instruments includes inverted metallurgical microscopes, upright metallographic microscopes, battery powered portable field metallurgical microscopes, large mechanical stage microscopes for silicon wafer and semiconductor inspection, discount monocular instruments for the metallurgy laboratory on a budget, and trinocular metallurgical microscopes for microphotography. They are frequently used for materials science engineering, metal grain structure identification, viewing surface patina, and quality control inspection.
We can provide a wide range of USB digital image capture microscope cameras to adapt to these metallographs. They range in price, quality, and digital resolution. We also supply ccd microscope cameras for full live motion video on a cctv monitor or tv. We can also provide measuring software for measuring metal grain sizes, electroplating coating thickness, counting the density of voids and inclusions or other impuritives, and for doing simple measurement under a microscope. With our selection of other measuring instruments, we can provide a properly sized microscope eyepiece reticle in a counting grid or measuring line, as well as a stage micrometer to use for calibrating the reticle at each microscope objective magnification. Our trained sales staff will be happy to explain more about these procedures for measuring and counting under high power magnification.
A metallurgical microscope, also known as a metallographic microscope, or simply as a metallograph, has the distinct capability of imaging a smooth metallic, ceramic, silicon wafer, or other flat polished surface in a way not possible via other microscopy methods. The specialized illumination method makes all the difference. These epi-illumination instruments allow light to go through the microscope objective, and reflect off the metallic or opaque specimen, and back to the eyepieces. This compares to a standard compound light microscope that has only transmission illumination, sending the light through the translucent specimen. Those methods limit the microscopist to only using thin translucent specimens. If you need both features, several of our models have the ability to do both transmitted light as well as epi-illumination.
Please be sure to contact our technical sales microscopists for additional information about our units as well as a free recommendation for your metallurgy lab. We can even test your metallic specimen with several of our metallurgical microscopes and capture digital images of the results for you to clearly see that we are your best source for these instruments. We look forward to hearing from you and giving us a chance to both save you a lot of money as well as precisely meet your metallographic needs.
