XUM600 Upright Metallurgical Microscope

The XUM600 is an upright metallurgical microscope with a Seidentopf trinocular head, coaxial coarse and fine focusing, and a mechanical stage.

Product Overview

The XUM600 is an upright metallurgical microscope with a Seidentopf trinocular head, coaxial coarse and fine focusing, and a mechanical stage. It supports both reflected and transmitted illumination, and is configured with LMPlan FL and M PLAN objectives for bright and dark field inspection of metal surfaces, polished sections, and thin films. The 5W LED and 12V/50W halogen lamps provide stable lighting, and the 360° rotatable head allows for shared viewing or camera attachment.

Key Benefits

  • Seidentopf trinocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation for shared viewing or camera integration
  • Coaxial coarse and fine focus with 25mm coarse stroke and 0.2mm fine rotation for precise depth control
  • Mechanical stage with 77mm x 52mm travel range and 50mm fast lowering unit for large sample handling
  • Dual illumination: reflected 5W LED or 12V/50W halogen, and transmitted 5W LED or 6V/30W halogen for versatility
  • Supports both bright field and dark field with M PLAN objectives and polarizing unit for texture and defect analysis

Application Scenarios

  • Inspection of polished metal sections for grain structure, cracks, and inclusions in metallurgy labs
  • Quality control of machined or cast metal parts using bright and dark field to reveal surface defects
  • Failure analysis of thin films, coatings, and plated layers under reflected light
  • Microstructure evaluation of heat-treated or annealed metals with polarized light
  • Teaching metallurgical microscopy in university or vocational training labs with shared viewing

Who It Is For

  • Metallurgy and materials science laboratories in manufacturing and R&D
  • Quality control departments in foundries, heat-treatment, and metal fabrication plants
  • University and technical college teaching labs for materials engineering and metallurgy
  • Research labs analyzing metal fatigue, corrosion, and phase transformations
  • Precision component inspection in aerospace, automotive and tooling industries

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed head orientation limits viewing angles for multiple operators or camera setup
  • Lack of mechanical stage forces manual sample movement, increasing risk of misalignment
  • No dual illumination capability requires separate instruments for reflected and transmitted light
  • Fixed focus mechanism makes depth adjustment slow and imprecise during high-magnification work
  • Absence of polarizing unit prevents analysis of anisotropic structures like crystal grains

Technical Features

  • Seidentopf trinocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation for flexible viewing
  • Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with 25mm coarse stroke and 0.2mm fine rotation per turn
  • Fine focus division of 2μm and upper distance limiter for repeatable positioning
  • Mechanical stage with 77mm x 52mm travel range and 50mm stage fast lowering unit
  • Dual illumination: reflected 5W LED or 12V/50W halogen, transmitted 5W LED or 6V/30W halogen
  • M PLAN objectives for bright and dark field with 0.13 to 0.70 NA and working distances from 1.60mm to 7.30mm
  • Polarizing unit with analyzer and polarizer for birefringence analysis
  • Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and iris diaphragm for high-resolution illumination control

Customization Options

  • Choose between XUM601 (LED reflected) and XUM601D (halogen reflected) for illumination preference
  • Select XUM602 (LED transmitted) or XUM602D (halogen transmitted) based on transmitted light needs
  • Add optional M PLAN objectives for dark field inspection
  • Attach C-Mount adapter with 1X, 0.75X, or 0.5X magnification for camera integration
  • Upgrade to higher NA objectives or add polarizing components as required

Comparison With Other Options

XUM601 without transmitted illuminationThe XUM602 adds a 5W LED or 6V/30W halogen transmitted light source, allowing inspection of transparent or thin samples without switching instruments.
XUM600 without polarizing unitThe XUM600 with polarizing unit enables birefringence analysis of crystalline or textured metal surfaces, which is not possible on the base model.
Fixed head microscopeThe Seidentopf trinocular head rotates 360° and tilts 30°, enabling shared viewing or camera alignment without repositioning the entire stand.

Use Guide

  • Adjust interpupillary distance to 48mm-76mm before focusing to ensure merged binocular image
  • Use the coarse focus first at low magnification, then switch to fine focus for precise depth control
  • For dark field, ensure the M PLAN objectives are mounted and the condenser is properly aligned
  • Set the condenser iris diaphragm to match the objective NA for optimal contrast and resolution
  • Use the stage fast lowering unit to access large samples or thick specimens without moving the stage
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance for the 100x objective?

3.00mm for the LMPlan FL 100x/0.85 (Dry) objective.

Can I use both reflected and transmitted light at the same time?

No. The microscope uses either reflected or transmitted illumination, not both simultaneously.

Is the polarizing unit included in the standard configuration?

Yes. The XUM600 includes a polarizer and analyzer as standard.

What power supply is needed for the halogen lamps?

12V/50W halogen requires 100V-240V input; 6V/30W halogen also uses 100V-240V input.

Can I attach a camera to this microscope?

Yes. A C-Mount adapter is available with 1X, 0.75X, or 0.5X magnification for camera integration.

What is the stage travel range?

77mm x 52mm, with an additional 50mm of fast lowering movement.
