XIM600 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope
The XIM600 is an inverted metallurgical microscope with a butterfly trinocular head and a 3W-LED illumination system.

Product Overview
The XIM600 is an inverted metallurgical microscope with a butterfly trinocular head and a 3W-LED illumination system. It uses infinity-corrected LWD Plan objectives from 5X to 100X, with working distances from 16.04mm to 3.0mm, allowing inspection of polished metal samples, thin sections, and semiconductor wafers without obstruction from the stage. The 180x180mm mechanical stage supports large specimens and includes a 0.01mm micrometer for precise positioning.

Key Benefits
- Inverted design allows inspection of thick or large metal samples, wafers, and bonded components without interference from the stage
- Infinity-corrected LWD Plan objectives provide flat field and high contrast across the magnification range
- Built-in 0.5X C-mount on trinocular head enables direct connection to a digital camera or recording system
- 3W-LED illumination with 100V-240V input supports stable, low-heat lighting across global power standards
- Mechanical stage with 30x30mm travel and 0.01mm micrometer division allows repeatable positioning for quality checks
Application Scenarios
- Inspection of polished metal cross-sections in a foundry or heat-treatment lab
- Quality control of semiconductor wafers and thin film layers in a production line
- Failure analysis of bonded joints and solder interfaces on circuit boards
- Documentation of grain structure and surface defects in metallurgical samples
- Teaching materials science with a live image projected to a screen for a class
Who It Is For
- Metallurgy, foundry and heat-treatment quality labs
- Semiconductor and optical component inspection lines
- Materials science and engineering teaching laboratories
- Research labs conducting microstructure analysis
- Precision manufacturing quality departments inspecting metal parts
Problems It Solves
- A standard upright microscope cannot accommodate thick or large metal samples without obstructing the objective
- Lack of a C-mount on the trinocular head forces separate purchase of a camera adapter and alignment system
- Fixed illumination sources with high heat damage sensitive samples or require separate cooling
- No micrometer on the stage leads to inconsistent positioning between inspections
- Non-infinity-corrected objectives cause field curvature and reduced image quality at higher magnifications
Technical Features
- Inverted optical design with infinity-corrected LWD Plan objectives for flat field and high resolution
- Butterfly trinocular head inclined at 45o with built-in 0.5X C-mount for camera integration
- Quadplex nosepiece allows quick objective change without losing alignment
- Mechanical stage with 180x180mm size, 30x30mm travel range, and 0.01mm micrometer division
- 3W-LED illumination with 100V-240V input voltage range for global use
- Blue, green and grey filters included for contrast adjustment in different sample types

Customization Options
- Choose between monocular, butterfly binocular, or butterfly trinocular head configurations
- Add optional eyepieces with reticule for precise measurement in 0.1mm increments
- Upgrade to higher NA objectives if needed for finer detail at 50X and above
- Select alternative illumination sources if 3W-LED is not suitable for sample type
- Use the C-mount to connect to any standard 0.5X or 1X camera with C-mount interface
Comparison With Other Options
| XIM601 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope | The XIM600 includes a trinocular head with built-in 0.5X C-mount; the XIM601 is monocular and lacks camera integration. |
|---|---|
| XIM602 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope | The XIM602 has a trinocular head but lacks the 0.5X C-mount; the XIM600 adds direct camera compatibility. |
| Upright metallurgical microscope | An upright design obstructs thick or large samples; the inverted design allows full access to the sample surface from below. |
Use Guide
- Set the interpupillary distance to match your eyes before focusing to avoid eye strain
- Start with the lowest magnification objective to locate the sample area, then switch to higher magnifications
- Use the mechanical stage micrometer to record exact positions for repeatable inspections
- Adjust the LED brightness and filter to optimize contrast for different metal surfaces
- Connect a camera to the C-mount for image capture; ensure the camera lens matches the 0.5X magnification
