ICX41M Inverted Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Long working distance objectives (up to 12.2mm) allow inspection of thick or irregularly shaped metal samples without interference
• Infinite conjugate optical system ensures consistent image quality across magnifications
• Trinocular head with 360-degree rotation enables shared viewing and camera integration without repositioning
• 0.002mm fine focusing precision supports detailed examination of surface defects and grain structures
• Built-in magnification display and light intensity indicator reduce setup time and improve consistency
• Bright and dark field switching with adjustable diaphragms enhances contrast for non-reflective or textured surfaces

Application Scenarios

• Inspecting polished metal surfaces for cracks, inclusions or surface defects in a foundry quality lab
• Examining semiconductor wafers and thin film layers in a materials research environment
• Documenting grain structure and phase distribution in metallurgical samples with a camera
• Performing routine inspection of heat-treated components under both bright and dark field
• Supporting teaching sessions in metallurgy or materials science with a shared view and real-time magnification display

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and foundry quality control labs inspecting castings, forgings and heat-treated parts
• Research and development teams studying microstructure and material properties
• Semiconductor and thin-film inspection lines requiring high-precision surface analysis
• University and technical college labs teaching metallurgy and materials science
• Precision manufacturing facilities checking surface finish and material integrity

Problems It Solves

• Standard upright microscopes cannot accommodate thick or bulky metal samples without obstruction
• Short working distance objectives limit access to samples with uneven surfaces or high profiles
• Lack of magnification display forces operators to manually track settings during inspection
• Fixed viewing angles make it difficult for multiple users to observe the same sample simultaneously
• No built-in dark field capability reduces visibility of fine surface features and defects

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to 50-75mm before focusing to ensure a merged image
• Use the coarse focus first at low magnification, then switch to fine focus for detailed inspection
• Set the field and aperture diaphragms to center for optimal contrast in bright and dark field
• Use the infrared induction to maintain consistent illumination when moving the stage
• Connect the camera via C-mount adapter and confirm the magnification factor (0.35X-1X) in the image processing software
