MAGUS Metal V700 BD is an inverted metallurgical microscope – the revolving nosepiece is located under the specimen and it uses reflected light for observations. Microscopy techniques available: brightfield, darkfield, and polarized light. The microscope is used for studying metals, alloys, semiconductors, and other opaque specimens of large sizes up to 2kg. It is widely used in industrial facilities, factories, and quality control laboratories as well as in universities and research centers.
Optics
You can install the microscope head in a standard way or rotate it 180° as provided by the design. There is an option to install a digital camera and monitor: A trinocular tube is located in the microscope head, a side camera port one – on the body. The beam splitting is available for both: 50:50 and 100:0 for the microscope head as well as 100:0 and 0:100 for the body.
A revolving nosepiece for 5 objectives is located under the examined specimen. There are 4 slots for installing the included objectives and one more slot for installing an additional one. All objectives for this microscope are labeled BD, i.e., they are specially designed for brightfield and darkfield microscopy and have a long working distance.
Illumination
Light source: 50W halogen bulb. The warm lighting reduces eye strain and is ideal for long hours of working with the microscope. Thanks to the powerful illumination, you will get a well-detailed sharp image using any microscopy techniques and any objective. The light source can be centered along three axes, and the Köhler illumination can be adjusted by aperture and field diaphragms. The reflected light illumination system also includes a polarization device and a darkfield device.
Stage and focusing mechanism
Stage with a round rotating stage plate in the center. Depending on the intended use, different plates can be used: They differ in the diameter of the hole – 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm. After placing the specimen on the stage, it is secured with a holder. The specimen moves along with the stage in two directions: X-axis or Y-axis. Coarse (has a lock knob and tension adjustment) focusing and fine focusing are used for focus adjustment. Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are located on both sides in such a way that you can place your hands on the table when using a microscope rather than keeping them in the air.
Accessories
When you add additional accessories to the MAGUS Metal V700 BD microscope, its capabilities expand. The accessories include eyepieces, darkfield and brightfield objectives with long working distance, digital cameras, and calibration slides.
Key features:
