RX50M Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• 100mm working distance allows a probe, tool or sample holder to remain under the optics during inspection
• 400X magnification with standard 10X eyepiece and 40X objective provides clear detail of grain structure and surface defects
• Upright design with reflected light illumination suits polished metal, semiconductor wafers and thin sections
• 100mm focal length ensures stable focus across the working distance without refocusing when moving the sample
• Standard 10X eyepiece and 40X objective are interchangeable with other objectives and eyepieces for variable magnification

Application Scenarios

• Inspecting grain structure and surface defects in polished metal samples in a metallurgy lab
• Examining semiconductor wafers for scratches, pits or contamination under reflected light
• Checking thin sections of cast materials for porosity, inclusions or phase boundaries
• Quality control of machined or ground metal parts where surface integrity is critical
• Teaching metallography techniques in a university or vocational training lab

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and materials science laboratories in industrial quality control
• Semiconductor and microelectronics inspection teams requiring surface defect analysis
• Foundry and heat-treatment labs monitoring microstructure changes
• University and technical school teaching labs for metallography and materials testing
• Precision manufacturing facilities inspecting ground or polished components

Problems It Solves

• A microscope with short working distance forces the operator to remove tools or probes from under the optics during inspection
• Fixed magnification systems require swapping objectives to examine both large features and fine details
• Lack of reflected light illumination prevents clear imaging of polished metal or semiconductor surfaces
• No standard focal length leads to frequent refocusing when moving samples or tools under the head
• Separate camera and microscope setups often mismatch tube diameter or optical alignment

Technical Features

• Upright optical design with reflected light illumination for polished surfaces
• 10X eyepiece and 40X objective provide 400X magnification as standard
• 100mm working distance allows tools or probes to remain under the optics
• 100mm focal length ensures consistent focus across the working distance
• Standard 10X eyepiece and 40X objective are compatible with additional objectives and eyepieces
• Robust mechanical construction supports stable imaging during extended use

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eyes before focusing to ensure a single merged image
• Start focusing at the highest magnification objective and then move to lower magnifications to maintain focus across the range
• Use the mechanical stage controls to position the sample precisely before starting inspection
• Ensure the LED light source is turned on and adjusted to the correct brightness for the sample surface
• When using optional objectives, verify the alignment and focus after switching to avoid image blur
