Key Benefits
- Portable design allows on-site inspection of metal alloys, welds, and castings without moving the sample
- Three objective lenses (4X, 10X, 40X) provide 40X to 400X total magnification for microstructure analysis
- 17.35mm working distance at 4X objective allows inspection of larger or uneven surfaces
- C-mount adapter with 23.2mm thread enables attachment of cameras for image capture and documentation
- Magnetic base with 12x12mm movement range secures the microscope on ferrous surfaces during inspection
- 4.2V power supply ensures operation with compact battery packs or portable power sources
Application Scenarios
- On-site inspection of weld joints, heat-affected zones, and surface defects in metal fabrication
- Field appraisal of metal alloys and casting quality in foundry or repair environments
- Documentation of microstructure features in metallurgical samples using a C-mount camera
- Quality control checks on machined parts, tool steels, and hardened surfaces during production
- Educational demonstrations of metal grain structure and phase boundaries in metallurgy labs
Who It Is For
- Metallurgy and materials quality labs in manufacturing plants
- Foundry and heat-treatment process engineers
- Field technicians inspecting metal components on-site
- Universities and technical schools teaching metallurgy and materials science
- Repair and maintenance teams assessing wear, cracking, or fatigue in metal parts
Problems It Solves
- A fixed-position microscope requires moving the sample to a lab; the AJ-2000 allows inspection where the sample is
- No portable solution for magnified surface inspection of large or immobile metal parts
- Separate camera and microscope setups often lack compatible thread sizes or alignment
- Lack of a magnetic base limits stability on ferrous surfaces during inspection
- Fixed magnification instruments require multiple tools to cover 40X to 400X range
Technical Features
- Plan Achromatic objective lenses with numerical apertures of 0.1 (4X), 0.25 (10X), and 0.65 (40X)
- WF10X/20mm eyepiece provides a 20mm field of view for consistent viewing
- Total magnification options: 40X, 100X, 400X using the three objective lenses
- 160mm body length with 20mm focusing distance for compact handling
- 4.2V power supply for low-voltage operation with portable batteries
- Magnetic base (88x88mm) with 12x12mm moving range for secure attachment to ferrous surfaces
- C-mount adapter with 23.2mm thread allows direct mounting of C-mount cameras or 23.2mm thread eyepieces
- Hand-held design enables use in tight or elevated spaces without a bench

Customization Options
- Choose between monocular head with C-mount adapter or add a C-mount camera
- Attach a C-mount camera using the 23.2mm thread adapter for digital imaging
- Use 23.2mm thread eyepieces as an alternative to the standard WF10X/20mm
- Mount the microscope on different ferrous surfaces using the magnetic base
- Select the required objective lens combination based on inspection needs
Comparison With Other Options
| Fixed bench metallurgical microscope | The AJ-2000 allows on-site inspection without moving the sample; the bench model requires sample transport to a lab |
|---|---|
| Standard hand-held magnifier | The AJ-2000 provides 40X to 400X magnification with optical clarity and a stable magnetic base, unlike a simple magnifier |
| Digital microscope with LCD screen | The AJ-2000 retains optical viewing with a camera attachment option, while a digital-only screen lacks depth perception and optical quality |
Use Guide
- Attach the magnetic base to a ferrous surface before starting inspection to stabilize the microscope
- Select the appropriate objective lens based on the required magnification and working distance
- Use the 23.2mm C-mount adapter to attach a C-mount camera for image capture
- Ensure the power supply is at 4.2V before turning on the microscope
- Adjust the focus using the 20mm focusing distance; start at low magnification and move up

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working distance at each objective lens?
17.35mm at 4X, 2.04mm at 10X, and 0.56mm at 40X.
Can I attach a camera to this microscope?
Yes. The C-mount adapter has a 23.2mm thread, so you can attach a C-mount camera or a 23.2mm thread eyepiece.
What power source does it use?
The microscope operates on a 4.2V power supply.
Is the magnetic base strong enough for use on vertical surfaces?
The magnetic base measures 88x88mm and has a 12x12mm moving range, which provides stable attachment on flat or slightly curved ferrous surfaces.
Can I use this microscope for inspecting non-ferrous metals?
The magnetic base only works on ferrous materials. For non-ferrous metals, use a clamp or stand to secure the microscope.
What is the total magnification range?
The total magnification is 40X with the 4X objective, 100X with the 10X objective, and 400X with the 40X objective.
