XUM500 Upright Metallurgical Microscope
The XUM500 is an upright metallurgical microscope with a swiveling Seidentopf binocular or trinocular head, designed for inspecting polished metal surfaces, semiconductor wafers, and precision machined

Product Overview
The XUM500 is an upright metallurgical microscope with a swiveling Seidentopf binocular or trinocular head, designed for inspecting polished metal surfaces, semiconductor wafers, and precision machined components. It uses infinity plan objectives with long working distances and a 5W LED reflection illumination system. The standard configuration includes a 3.0MP USB2.0 digital camera for trinocular heads, with optional upgrades to 5MP USB2.0, 12MP USB3.0, or a 9.7" LCD touch screen tablet camera. The microscope supports measurement software and is supplied with a mechanical stage for precise sample positioning.

Problems It Solves
- Short working distance objectives require close proximity to the sample, risking damage to both the objective and the specimen
- Fixed illumination systems lack flexibility for different sample reflectivity or color temperature needs
- Separate camera and microscope setups often mismatch in tube diameter, focus, or optical alignment
- Lack of measurement software in basic models forces manual recording of dimensions and features
- Non-ergonomic heads make prolonged inspection uncomfortable or difficult for multiple users

Customization Options
- Choose between binocular and trinocular head on the same XUM500 body
- Add optional eyepieces with reticule and adjustable focus for measurement tasks
- Upgrade to higher-resolution digital cameras: 5MP USB2.0, 12MP USB3.0, or 9.7" LCD touch screen tablet
- Add polarizing attachment (analyzer and polarizer) for stress or crystallographic analysis
- Use optional 0.5X C-mount adapter to adjust camera focus or field of view
- Select from different objectives based on working distance and magnification needs
Comparison With Other Options
| XUM500 without digital camera | Same optics, stage, and illumination; the trinocular version adds a camera and measurement software so inspection data can be captured and documented without a separate imaging system. |
|---|---|
| XUM500 with fixed head | The swiveling Seidentopf head allows 360° rotation and 30° inclination, improving access and ergonomics for multiple users and long sessions. |
| Digital microscope with LCD screen | The XUM500 provides a true optical view with binocular depth perception, while a digital microscope shows only a screen image; the XUM500 supports both optical and digital workflows. |
Use Guide
- Adjust the interpupillary distance between 48mm and 75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
- Start focusing at the highest magnification objective, then move to lower magnifications to maintain focus across the zoom range
- Use the 5W LED light source with appropriate filter (e.g., blue or green) to enhance contrast on reflective metal surfaces
- Connect the digital camera to a USB2.0 or USB3.0 port; the camera draws power from the same cable
- Use the measurement software to record dimensions, angles, and areas directly from the captured image
- For polarizing analysis, install both the polarizer and analyzer and rotate one to observe interference patterns
