XUM400 Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Trinocular head with 30-degree inclination enables simultaneous observation and imaging
• Long working distance objectives eliminate the need for cover glass, ideal for thick or irregular samples
• Coaxial coarse and fine focus with 0.7μm minimum division allows precise depth control
• Vertical illumination with field diaphragm, aperture diaphragm, and polarizer supports contrast adjustment
• Optional CCD adapters and cameras allow direct digital capture without external equipment

Application Scenarios

• Inspection of polished metal surfaces in foundry or heat-treatment quality control
• Failure analysis of semiconductor wafers and circuit layers without cover glass
• Documentation of grain structure, surface defects, and material homogeneity
• Teaching metallurgical structure identification in university or technical training labs
• Quality checks on machined parts, castings, and surface-treated components

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy, foundry, and heat-treatment quality control labs
• Semiconductor and microelectronics inspection lines
• University and technical school metallurgy and materials science departments
• Research labs studying metallography and surface morphology
• Precision manufacturing facilities requiring surface defect documentation

Problems It Solves

• Fixed focus systems make it difficult to adjust depth on uneven or thick samples
• Standard objectives require cover glass, which limits working distance and introduces optical distortion
• Separate camera and microscope setups often mismatch tube diameter and require custom adapters
• Poor illumination control leads to inconsistent contrast and shadowing on reflective surfaces
• Lack of mechanical stage movement forces manual repositioning, increasing inspection time

Technical Features

• Trinocular head with 30-degree inclination and analyzer for switching between observation modes
• Plan achromatic objectives with long working distance and no cover glass requirement
• Vertical illumination with halogen lamp, brightness control, field diaphragm, aperture diaphragm, and polarizer
• Coaxial coarse and fine focus system with tension adjustment and up stop
• Quintuple nosepiece with frontward ball bearing inner locating for smooth objective switching
• Three-layer mechanical stage with 154mm x 154mm travel range for large sample movement
• Optional CCD adapters and digital cameras for direct image capture and documentation

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance before use to ensure a single merged image
• Start focusing at the highest magnification objective, then move to lower magnifications
• Use the field diaphragm to reduce glare and improve contrast on reflective surfaces
• For oil immersion objectives, apply a drop of immersion oil before switching to PL 100X/1.25
• Connect the camera to a USB port; the DV-1 and DV-2 models draw power from the same cable
