XGM100 Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Trinocular head with 30° tilt allows simultaneous observation and camera capture
• Infinity plan achromatic objectives deliver sharp, flat-field images across the magnification range
• Kohler illumination with adjustable LED brightness ensures even, glare-free lighting
• Coaxial focusing with 0.002mm fine adjustment enables precise depth control for surface analysis
• Double-layer mechanical stage with 75mm x 50mm travel supports large or irregularly shaped samples
• Optional polarizing device and color filters enable contrast enhancement for specific material types

Application Scenarios

• Metallographic inspection of castings, welds, and heat-treated surfaces in a foundry quality lab
• Routine examination of metal samples for grain structure, inclusions, and phase distribution
• Documentation of microstructural features with a camera attached to the trinocular head
• Teaching metallography in a university materials science lab using a shared monitor
• Comparative analysis of surface treatments such as plating, anodizing, or coating uniformity

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and foundry quality control labs
• Heat-treatment and surface treatment process engineers
• University and technical school materials science teaching labs
• Research labs analyzing metal fatigue, fracture surfaces, or corrosion
• Precision manufacturing facilities inspecting tool steels, alloys, and component integrity

Problems It Solves

• A monocular head forces the operator to switch between eye and camera view during inspection
• Non-Kohler illumination produces uneven lighting and hotspots on reflective metal surfaces
• Fixed focus systems lack the precision needed for detailed surface and grain analysis
• Small mechanical stages limit the size of samples that can be examined without repositioning
• Lack of optional accessories like polarizers or color filters reduces contrast in certain material types

Technical Features

• Trinocular viewing head with 30° tilt and adjustable interpupillary distance from 48mm to 75mm
• Infinity plan achromatic objective lenses: 5X, 10X, 20X, 50X for consistent image quality
• Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and variable aperture for optimal illumination control
• Double-layer mechanical stage with 210mm x 140mm platform and 75mm x 50mm moving range
• Coaxial focusing system with fine adjustment value of 0.002mm for precise depth control
• LED Kohler illumination: 5W, adjustable brightness, powered via AC100-240V input
• Built-in photographic eyepiece with 0.4X magnification for camera integration
• Optional polarizing device with analyzer for birefringence analysis
• Plug-in color filters (yellow, blue, white) to enhance contrast in specific materials
• Objective micrometer (0.01mm) for quantitative measurement of features

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance between 48mm and 75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
• Start focusing at the lowest magnification (5X) and move up to higher objectives to maintain focus across the range
• Use the Abbe condenser aperture to control contrast and resolution based on the sample type
• For reflective samples, ensure the light path is aligned with the objective and condenser for even illumination
• When using the polarizing device, rotate the analyzer to find maximum contrast in birefringent materials
• Attach the objective micrometer to the 10X or 20X objective for precise measurement of features
