XIM800 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope

Product Overview

The XIM800 is an inverted metallurgical microscope with a 45° inclined monocular or binocular head, designed for inspecting polished metal surfaces, thin sections, and semiconductor wafers. It delivers total magnification from 100X to 1250X using a 10X and 40X objective with a 10X eyepiece, and supports oil immersion at 100X. The built-in Kohler illumination system with adjustable brightness and filter options ensures even lighting across the field. The double-layer mechanical stage holds samples up to 200mm x 180mm with two circular plates and provides 70mm x 50mm movement in X and Y axes.

Key Benefits

Inverted design allows inspection of large or thick metal samples without obstruction from the stage
45° inclined head reduces neck strain during extended inspection sessions
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with tension adjustment ensures smooth, precise focus control
100X objective supports oil immersion for high-resolution imaging of fine grain structures
Built-in Kohler illumination with blue, green, yellow and ground glass filters improves contrast and reduces glare
Double-layer mechanical stage with 70mm x 50mm travel enables precise positioning of large samples

Application Scenarios

Inspection of polished metal cross-sections for grain structure and defects in heat-treated parts
Quality control of semiconductor wafers and thin film layers in production lines
Failure analysis of fractured metal components using high magnification and oil immersion
Microstructure evaluation of castings, welds and forgings in metallurgy labs
Teaching metallography in university or vocational training programs

Who It Is For

Metallurgy and foundry quality control labs
Heat-treatment and material testing facilities
Semiconductor and microelectronics inspection lines
University and technical school metallurgy and materials science departments
Research labs studying metal fatigue, corrosion and phase transformations

Problems It Solves

A standard upright microscope cannot accommodate thick or large metal samples without obstructing the optics
Fixed head angles cause operator fatigue during long inspection sessions
Lack of oil immersion capability at 100X limits resolution for fine microstructures
Poor illumination uniformity leads to glare and shadowing on polished surfaces
Manual stage movement without precise control makes locating features on large samples difficult

Comparison With Other Options

Standard upright metallurgical microscope	The inverted design allows inspection of large or thick samples without obstruction, while upright models require sample thinning or special holders.
XIM600 inverted metallurgical microscope	The XIM800 offers a 45° inclined head and a larger mechanical stage with 70mm x 50mm travel, while the XIM600 has a fixed head and smaller stage movement.
Digital video microscope with fixed optics	The XIM800 provides full manual control over focus, illumination and stage movement, while digital microscopes often limit adjustment to software-based zoom and brightness

Use Guide

Adjust the interpupillary distance between 55mm and 75mm before focusing to avoid eye strain
Start focusing at the lowest magnification (10X objective) and move to higher magnifications as needed
Use oil immersion only with the 100X objective and a proper immersion oil to avoid lens damage
Clean the stage plates and objective lenses after each use to prevent contamination
Use the ground glass filter to reduce glare on highly reflective polished surfaces
