This is an upright metallurgical microscope with transmitted and reflected Koehler illumination, including polarized-light and dark-field through episcopic illumination. The microscope comes with a quintuple nosepiece, seven infinitive Plan objectives, a built-in polarizer & analyzer, darkfield-viewing device, and both reflected (EPI) & transmitted illuminations. It offers nine metallurgical magnification settings (50X, 100X, 125X, 250X, 200X, 500X, 1250X, 1000X & 2500X) and three more levels of transmitted magnification settings (400X, 1000X & 2500X). It is a great instrument for both metallurgical (reflected) and biological (transmitted) applications.
The 5MP digital camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac, there is a lite version with limited processing features.
This microscopy system is perfect for metallurgical labs and foundries for silicon wafer inspection, integrated circuit examination, production quality control, and R&D applications. It is an ideal instrument for metallurgical, mineral and crystal identification. It is also a great microscopy system for transmitted illumination applications including those in biological areas. It is brand new in original box. Its retail value is more than $15,000.
