XIM200 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope

The XIM200 is an inverted metallurgical microscope with an infinity-corrected optical system, designed for inspecting polished metal surfaces, semiconductor wafers, and thin film layers.

Product Overview

The XIM200 is an inverted metallurgical microscope with an infinity-corrected optical system, designed for inspecting polished metal surfaces, semiconductor wafers, and thin film layers. It features a 12V100W halogen lamp, a fixed stage with 135mmX85mm movement range, and a quintuple revolving nosepiece supporting objectives from 5X to 100X. The binocular tube has a 45° inclination and diopter adjustment, and the system supports brightfield, polarized, and filtered illumination for material analysis.

  • Objective typeInfinity Long Work Distance Plan

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

Comparison With Other Options

Standard upright metallurgical microscopeThe inverted design allows inspection of large, heavy, or irregularly shaped metal samples without repositioning; the XIM200 supports bottom-up illumination for polished surfaces.
Microscope with fixed stage and no movement rangeThe XIM200's 135mmX85mm stage movement enables precise positioning of large specimens without manual rehandling.
Microscope without C-Mount supportThe XIM200 includes C-Mount adapters for external cameras, enabling documentation and process monitoring without a separate camera system.

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
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance for the 100X objective?

The 100X objective is designed for oil immersion (S/Oil); it has a very short working distance and requires immersion oil for proper focus.

Can I use this microscope for non-metallic samples?

Yes. The reflected light illumination and long working distance objectives are suitable for inspecting polished ceramics, glass, and semiconductor wafers.

Does the stage move in both X and Y directions?

Yes. The fixed stage has 135mm movement in the X direction and 85mm in the Y direction, controlled by X/Y coaxial knobs on the bottom side.

Can I connect a digital camera to this microscope?

Yes. The C-Mount adapters (0.5X and 0.25X) allow connection to external cameras for image capture and recording.

What type of bulb is used in the lamp house?

The standard lamp house uses a 12V100W halogen bulb; a 12V50W version is available as an alternative.

Is the microscope compatible with polarized light?

Yes. The microscope includes a polarizer and analyzer kit for polarized illumination to detect stress and crystal orientation.
