Inverted Metallurgical Microscopes – HIM-2000D & BD

Inverted metallurgical microscope is a specialized type of optical microscope used for examining opaque materials, typically in the field of metallurgy and materials science. Unlike a conventional microscope where the light source is above the specimen and the lenses are below it, an inverted microscope has its light source and objective lenses located above the specimen, while the stage is below. This design allows for the examination of larger and bulkier samples that cannot be easily prepared into thin sections or slides.

Features:

1. Illumination: The light source is situated above the specimen, often using reflected light. This is particularly useful for opaque samples that don’t allow light to pass through them.
2. Objective Lenses: Inverted metallurgical microscopes are equipped with specialized objective lenses designed for observing opaque materials. These lenses are capable of capturing high-resolution images of the surface and internal structures of metal samples.
3. Stage: The stage is positioned below the specimen, providing ample space for larger and bulkier samples. It can be manipulated to move the sample in various directions, allowing for detailed examination.
4. Polarization: Many inverted metallurgical microscopes also have polarizing capabilities, which are useful for analyzing the crystallography and internal stresses within metal samples.

Applications:

• Metallurgy: As the name suggests, these microscopes are extensively used in the field of metallurgy to examine the microstructure of metals and alloys. This includes analyzing grain structures, identifying inclusions, assessing the quality of heat treatments, and understanding the effects of mechanical processes.
• Materials Science: Inverted metallurgical microscopes are also used in materials science for studying various materials, including ceramics, composites, and polymers. Researchers can observe the effects of different processing techniques on these materials’ microstructures and properties.
• Quality Control: Industries that deal with metal manufacturing, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, use inverted metallurgical microscopes for quality control and failure analysis. These microscopes help identify defects, such as cracks, voids, and impurities, that might affect the performance and durability of metal components.
• Research and Development: Scientists and researchers in metallurgy and materials science use inverted metallurgical microscopes to study the effects of different alloy compositions and processing conditions on the final material properties. This information is crucial for developing new and improved materials for various applications.

Most compact & economically designed & develop to fulfill various testing requirements of industries & educational institutes. A special feature of the design is flat unobstructed stage surface which places no limitation on the size & height of the specimen. Simply place the
specimen, face down on the stage, and switch on the illuminator, rotate the required objective in to position and you are ready to observation images. Inverted Metallurgical Microscope is equipped with excellent UIS optical system and modularization function design so that update system expediently and archived polarization, dark filed observation. Compact and steady main frame body is embodiment for the shock resistance.
