Magus Metal 600 BD Metallurgical Microscope

The MAGUS Metal 600 BD Metallurgical Microscope is designed for studying objects in reflected light using brightfield, darkfield, and polarization microscopy techniques. This microscope is used to examine metal and semiconductor samples as well as other flat and polished samples with high reflectivity. In transmitted light, you can study translucent samples like thin films and particles trapped on filters. The microscope can be used in metallurgical and mechanical engineering industries, in engineering and quality control laboratories as well as in technical universities.

Optics

The trinocular head has a trinocular tube in which the digital camera is mounted. The beam splitter directs light to the camera, there are two positions available: 100:0 and 0:100. The light beam goes all the way into either the eyepieces or the trinocular tube. Diopter adjustment ring is on the left eyepiece.

The magnification of the microscope in the basic configuration is 50–400x. Additional objectives and eyepieces will increase the range of magnification. The microscope uses plan achromatic objectives with long working distance for brightfield and darkfield microscopy techniques. There are five slots in the revolving nosepiece for mounting objectives – four objectives are included and one is optional. The revolving nosepiece with objectives is oriented toward the interior – the user can see the objective inserted into the optical path.

Illumination

The illumination uses warm halogen lamps that do not cause eye fatigue even when working for long periods of time. The power of the transmitted light illuminator is 30W and the reflected light illuminator is 50W, which ensures comfortable work using dark-field microscopy.

The reflected light illumination system contains: a darkfield device, polarization device, center-adjustable field and aperture diaphragms for Köhler illumination method, and color filters. The light source can also be centered.

The transmitted light illumination system includes: a condenser with a flip-down lens for low magnification objectives and an aperture and field diaphragm for the Köhler method.

Stage and focusing mechanism

The specimen moves with the stage along two axes. The height of the examined sample should not exceed 20mm. To work with translucent samples, the table has a transparent glass plate.

Focusing is adjusted by coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs that are located on each side in the lower part of the microscope. This allows the observer to place their hands freely on the table rather than holding them in the air. The coarse focusing mechanism has a lock knob on the right side and tension adjustment on the left.
