XIM300 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Infinite plan optical system delivers flat, high-contrast images across the field at all magnifications
• Siedentopf trinocular head with 53~75mm interpupillary adjustment and diopter compensation for shared use
• Long working distance objectives (up to 26.12mm) allow inspection of thick or irregularly shaped samples
• Fixed stage with low-position co-axial handle enables smooth, precise sample positioning
• Standard 6V 30W halogen lamp with blue, green, and yellow filters for contrast enhancement
• Optional BD series objectives extend depth of field for surface and subsurface inspection
• C-mount 1X and 0.5X adapters support integration with external digital cameras

Application Scenarios

• Inspection of polished metal cross-sections in heat treatment and failure analysis labs
• Quality control of coated or plated surfaces in automotive and aerospace manufacturing
• Examination of thin metal foils, wires, and sheet materials in metallurgy and materials science
• Surface defect detection in precision tooling and die manufacturing
• Documentation of microstructure features with a digital camera attached via C-mount

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and materials testing labs in industrial manufacturing
• Quality assurance teams inspecting metal parts and components
• Research and development departments studying phase structures and grain boundaries
• Foundry and heat-treatment process control teams
• University and technical college labs teaching materials science and engineering

Problems It Solves

• Fixed focus microscopes require sample repositioning for different magnifications; the XIM300's long working distance objectives allow direct focus adjustment without moving the sample
• Standard objectives with short working distances cannot accommodate thick or uneven samples; the XIM300's 5X to 100X objectives have working distances from 1.28mm to 26.12mm
• Lack of interchangeable filters limits contrast control; the XIM300 includes blue, green, and yellow filters for optimized illumination
• No provision for digital documentation forces separate camera purchase; the C-mount adapter supports direct camera integration
• Poor ergonomics in standard heads reduce operator comfort during long sessions; the Siedentopf trinocular head with diopter adjustment improves usability

Technical Features

• Infinite plan optical system with F=200mm focal length for consistent image quality
• Siedentopf trinocular head with 45° inclination and 53~75mm interpupillary adjustment
• Diopter-adjustable eyepieces for individual user settings
• High eye-point eyepieces (WF10X / 22mm) with up to 21mm eye relief
• Quintuple nosepiece with inward-facing design for stable objective switching
• Fixed stage with 242x200mm area and 30x30mm movement via low-position co-axial handle
• 6V 30W halogen lamp with adjustable brightness and filter slots for Φ26 filters
• Optional polarizer and analyzer for birefringence analysis
• C-mount 1X and 0.5X adapters for digital camera integration

Specifications

Specifications are taken from the AMADA product data for this item. Confirm critical dimensions with us in writing before ordering.

Customization Options

• Choose between standard objectives (5X to 100X) and optional BD series objectives for extended depth of field
• Select a trinocular head with or without a C-mount adapter for digital camera integration
• Specify digital camera model in advance for compatible C-mount adapter
• Order with or without polarizer and analyzer for birefringence analysis
• Request alternative filter sets if needed beyond blue, green, and yellow

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to 53~75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
• Use the co-axial handle to move the stage smoothly; avoid jerky motions that can shift the sample
• Start with the lowest magnification objective to locate the area of interest, then switch to higher magnification
• Use the appropriate filter (blue, green, yellow) to enhance contrast based on the sample material
• Attach the digital camera via C-mount only after confirming the camera model with the supplier
• Do not exceed the working distance of any objective; inserting the sample too close may damage the lens
