XUM800 Upright Metallurgical Microscope

Key Benefits

• Infinity optical system with plan achromatic objectives ensures flat, distortion-free images across the field
• Kohler illumination with adjustable iris aperture and field diaphragm provides even, glare-free lighting for surface detail
• Double-layer mechanical stage (150x140mm / 75x50mm) allows large specimens and precise positioning
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing enables smooth, stable focus adjustment without shifting the specimen
• Binocular or trinocular head configuration allows simultaneous observation and digital imaging
• Working distance ranges from 17.3mm (4X) to 0.32mm (50X), suitable for both large samples and high-magnification surface analysis

Application Scenarios

• Metallographic inspection of castings, welds and heat-treated steel samples in a quality lab
• Surface defect analysis on machined or polished metal parts for failure root cause investigation
• Microhardness testing preparation with a specimen presser for consistent sample mounting
• Educational demonstration of grain structure and phase boundaries in metallurgy teaching labs
• Documentation of microstructure images with a camera attached to the trinocular port

Who It Is For

• Metallurgy, foundry and heat-treatment quality control labs
• Materials science and engineering departments in universities
• Research labs conducting microstructure analysis of metals and alloys
• Manufacturing quality teams inspecting tool steels, cast iron, aluminum and titanium components
• Training centers teaching metallography and microstructural evaluation

Problems It Solves

• Fixed focus or non-coaxial focusing systems make it difficult to maintain specimen position during high-magnification inspection
• Poor illumination causes glare and shadowing on polished metal surfaces, hiding surface features
• Lack of a mechanical stage forces manual handling of samples, increasing risk of damage and misalignment
• No option for digital capture means inspection results must be described or hand-drawn
• Short working distance at high magnification prevents use of standard tools or probes near the specimen

Technical Features

• Infinity optical system with plan achromatic objectives for flat, high-contrast images

• Double-layer mechanical stage with 150x140mm and 75x50mm travel ranges for large and small specimens
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with a 20mm travel range for stable, repeatable focus
• 6V/20W halogen lamp with brightness adjustment for consistent illumination intensity
• Binocular or trinocular head with optional 0.1mm micrometer and crosshair eyepiece for precise measurement
• Specimen presser included for secure mounting of polished metal samples
• Interchangeable objectives from 4X to 100X with working distances from 17.3mm to 0.32mm

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eye spacing before focusing to avoid eye strain
• Use the coarse focus first at low magnification, then switch to fine focus for precise adjustment
• Align the Kohler illumination by adjusting the condenser and diaphragms for even lighting across the field
• Mount the specimen securely using the specimen presser to prevent movement during high-magnification inspection
• Select the appropriate objective based on required magnification and working distance for the sample
