XUM300 Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Trinocular head with 30-degree inclination allows simultaneous observation and camera capture
• Long working distance objectives (no cover glass) prevent contact with polished metal surfaces
• Vertical illumination with adjustable brightness and diaphragms improves contrast on reflective samples
• Quintuple nosepiece with frontward ball bearing locating ensures stable objective switching
• Three-layer mechanical stage provides 154mmX154mm travel for large or irregularly shaped samples

Application Scenarios

• Inspection of polished metal cross-sections for grain structure and defects
• Quality control of semiconductor wafers and thin-film layers
• Failure analysis of machined or heat-treated metal parts
• Documentation of microstructure images with a camera attached to the trinocular head
• Teaching metallurgy or materials science using a shared image on a monitor

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy and materials testing labs in foundries and heat-treatment facilities
• Semiconductor and microelectronics quality inspection lines
• University and technical college materials science teaching labs
• Research labs studying metallography and surface morphology
• Precision manufacturing quality departments inspecting machined components

Problems It Solves

• Standard microscopes with horizontal illumination cannot resolve reflective metal surfaces properly
• Short working distance objectives risk scratching polished metal samples during focus adjustment
• Lack of a trinocular head forces the operator to choose between direct observation and image capture
• Fixed stage size limits the inspection of large or irregularly shaped metal parts
• No diaphragms or polarizer in the illumination path reduces contrast on anisotropic or textured surfaces

Technical Features

• Plan achromatic objectives with long working distance, no cover glass required
• Vertical illumination with 6V 20W halogen lamp and adjustable brightness
• Field diaphragm, aperture diaphragm, and polarizer with Y, B, G filters and frosted filter
• Quintuple nosepiece with frontward ball bearing inner locating for precise objective alignment
• Three-layer mechanical stage with 154mmX154mm travel range and 250mmX230mm size
• Trinocular head with 30-degree inclination for ergonomic viewing and camera integration
• Interchangeable eyepieces for different field of view and magnification needs
• CCD adapter options for camera integration with magnification factors from 0.4X to 1X

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance before focusing to ensure a single merged image
• Start with the lowest magnification objective to locate the area of interest before switching to higher magnifications
• Use the field and aperture diaphragms to optimize contrast and reduce glare on reflective surfaces
• For oil immersion, use the PL 100X/1.25 objective with immersion oil and clean the lens after use
• Connect the CCD adapter to a camera via the trinocular port; select the appropriate magnification factor for the sensor size
