MX6R/MX6RT Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Infinity optical system with trinocular head ensures consistent image orientation and movement across magnifications
• Long working distance objectives (7.9mm at 50X, 2.1mm at 100X, 20X with 10mm W.D.) allow inspection of thick or irregular samples
• Ultra-long working distance 20X objective expands application to large or mounted samples
• Built-in attenuator reduces eye strain when switching between bright and dark field illumination
• Supports multiple observation methods: bright field, dark field, polarizing, and DIC for enhanced contrast and surface detail
• Trinocular head includes video and photo accessories for image capture, analysis, and documentation
• Precision nosepiece with accurate positioning and good concentricity ensures reliable objective switching
• Semi-apochromatic and multilayer broadband coating improves image clarity, color fidelity, and brightness across the field

Application Scenarios

• Inspection of metal surfaces for scratches, inclusions, and surface defects in foundry and heat-treatment labs
• Quality control of machined or polished metal parts in automotive and aerospace manufacturing
• Failure analysis of metal components with DIC to reveal micro-embossing and surface topography
• Polarizing observation of anisotropic materials such as crystals, alloys, and composites
• Dark field imaging of fine particles, pits, or surface contamination on polished metal samples
• Image documentation and analysis in metallurgical labs using the built-in video and photo accessories
• Teaching and demonstration of advanced microscopy techniques in university or technical training labs

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy, foundry and heat-treatment quality labs
• Semiconductor and precision component inspection lines
• Research and development labs studying metal microstructures
• University and technical school teaching laboratories in materials science
• Failure analysis teams in manufacturing and engineering departments

Problems It Solves

• Short working distance objectives prevent inspection of thick or irregularly shaped metal samples
• Lack of dark field capability limits detection of fine surface defects like scratches and inclusions
• Inconsistent image orientation when switching objectives makes alignment difficult
• No built-in attenuator causes eye strain during frequent switching between bright and dark field
• Separate camera and microscope setups often fail to match tube diameter or optical alignment
• Limited observation methods restrict the ability to analyze surface texture and material anisotropy
• Poor concentricity in the nosepiece leads to misalignment and image shift during objective changes

Technical Features

• Infinity tilting trinocular head with erect gemel optics, same direction and movement for objective and image
• Long working distance metallurgical objectives: 50X (7.9mm W.D.), 100X (2.1mm W.D.), 20X (10mm W.D.)
• Semi-apochromatic and multilayer broadband coating for sharp, color-accurate images across the field
• Kohler reflected illumination for even, glare-free bright field observation
• Built-in attenuator for smooth transition between bright and dark field without eye strain
• Dark field observation via transfer stick; luminance reaches double that of traditional dark field
• Polarizing observation with optional fixed or 360° rotation analyzer
• DIC observation with Nomarski DIC prism; supports objectives with DIC function for interference color consistency
• Precision bearing nosepiece with accurate positioning and good concentricity
• Variable aperture diaphragm, field aperture, and center adjustment available as options
• Trinocular head includes video and photo accessories for image capture and analysis

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the trinocular head tilt and interpupillary distance before use to ensure a comfortable viewing position
• Set the objective to the desired magnification and focus using the coarse and fine focus knobs
• For dark field observation, pull the transfer stick to the dark field position; ensure the illuminator is properly aligned
• Use the built-in attenuator when switching between bright and dark field to reduce eye strain
• For polarizing observation, insert the polarizer and analyzer into the illuminator at the correct positions
• For DIC, insert the Nomarski prism and ensure the objective supports DIC function for consistent interference colors
• Connect the video and photo accessories to a monitor or computer for image capture and analysis
