XIM200 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Infinity-corrected optical system ensures consistent image quality across all magnifications
• Long working distance objectives from 5X to 100X allow inspection of thick or irregularly shaped metal samples
• Fixed stage with 135mmX85mm travel range supports large specimens and precise positioning
• Quintuple revolving nosepiece enables quick objective switching without losing alignment
• 12V100W halogen lamp provides stable, high-intensity illumination for detailed surface analysis
• Support for blue, green, yellow, and 50% neutral density filters improves contrast and reduces glare
• Polarization kit enables detection of stress patterns and crystal orientation in metals
• C-Mount adapters allow connection to external cameras for documentation and process monitoring

Application Scenarios

• Inspection of polished metal cross-sections in heat-treatment quality control
• Surface defect analysis on semiconductor wafers and thin-film coatings
• Grain structure evaluation in castings, forgings and welds
• Failure analysis of cracked or deformed metal components
• Documentation of microstructural features for quality reports and customer submissions
• Teaching metallurgical principles in university or vocational training labs

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and foundry quality control labs
• Heat-treatment and surface treatment process engineers
• Semiconductor and thin-film manufacturing inspection teams
• University and technical college materials science teaching labs
• Research labs analyzing metal fatigue, corrosion and microstructure

Problems It Solves

• Fixed focus microscopes require sample repositioning for different magnifications; the XIM200 maintains focus across objectives
• Short working distance objectives cannot accommodate thick or uneven metal samples; this model uses long working distance objectives
• Inconsistent illumination across magnifications leads to poor contrast; the 12V100W halogen lamp ensures stable brightness
• Manual stage movement lacks precision; the X/Y coaxial knobs allow smooth, accurate positioning
• Separate camera and microscope setups often mismatch tube diameter and focus; C-Mount adapters ensure compatibility

Technical Features

• Infinity-corrected optical system with achromatic correction for reduced chromatic aberration
• Seidentopf binocular tube with 45° inclination and 52-75mm interpupillary adjustment
• Diopter-adjustable eyepieces for individual eye focus correction
• 5X to 100X objectives with long working distance for thick or irregular samples
• 12V100W halogen lamp with power box for stable, high-lumen output
• Fixed stage with 135mmX85mm movement range and X/Y coaxial flexible knobs
• Quintuple revolving nosepiece for rapid objective switching
• Multifunctional reflected light illuminator with brightfield, polarized and filtered modes
• C-Mount adapters for 0.5X and 0.25X camera coupling
• Specimen holder with φ118mm opening for standard sample size

Specifications

Customization Options

• Choose between binocular and trinocular head configurations
• Upgrade to 12V50W halogen power box and bulb for lower heat output
• Add mechanical stage (350mmx208mm, 50mmX50mm travel) for larger or more precise specimen handling
• Add specimen clamps for secure fixation of thin or fragile samples
• Order optional C-Mount adapters for 0.5X and 0.25X camera coupling
• Request additional filters or polarization components as needed

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eye spacing before focusing
• Use the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece to match your dominant eye
• Start with the lowest magnification objective (5X) to locate the area of interest
• Switch to higher magnifications using the revolving nosepiece; the system maintains focus
• Use the stage knobs to move the specimen into the center of the field of view
• For polarized light, align the polarizer and analyzer to observe stress patterns
• Connect a camera via the C-Mount adapter to capture images for documentation
• Replace the 12V100W bulb with a 12V50W version if heat sensitivity is a concern
