Crack Measuring Microscope (Product Code: SLE/CE/43) is an optical instrument used to measure the width of cracks in concrete members, masonry walls and other structures during condition surveys and civil engineering laboratory work. An adjustable lamp unit lights the crack, a knob brings the image into focus, and the eyepiece scale turns through 360° to line up with the crack direction. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes it as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Crack width is one of the first things an engineer records when assessing a building, bridge or retaining wall, because it helps separate harmless shrinkage cracking from damage that needs repair. The microscope is placed on the surface over the crack, the lamp is adjusted to light the edges clearly, and the image is focused with the knob. The eyepiece scale is then rotated until its graduations sit square across the crack, and the width is read directly.
Marking each measured point and repeating readings at intervals shows whether cracks are stable or still opening, which guides repair decisions. The same instrument lets students see crack patterns from load tests on beams and slabs in the laboratory. Keep the optics clean, store the unit in a dry place, and check the lamp before site visits. It is a practical choice for engineering lab equipment used in structural and materials courses.

What is the Crack Measuring Microscope used for?
The Crack Measuring Microscope is used to measure crack widths in concrete members, masonry walls and other structures. Engineers and students use it during condition surveys, repair assessments and laboratory load tests to record how wide cracks are and whether they change over time.
How is the scale lined up with a crack?
The eyepiece scale of the Crack Measuring Microscope can be turned through 360°, so it can be aligned with the direction of the crack or pitch under examination. This allows the width to be read squarely across the crack, whatever its orientation on the surface.
Does the microscope have its own lighting?
Yes. The Crack Measuring Microscope operates with an adjustable lamp unit that illuminates the crack, which helps when working in shaded areas, inside buildings or under bridges. The image is then sharpened by turning the focusing knob before the reading is taken.
What magnification and scale division does it have?
Magnification and scale-division details for the Crack Measuring Microscope are not listed on this page. Please ask our team through the contact page, mentioning the smallest crack width you need to measure, and we will confirm the specification before you order.
Who manufactures the Crack Measuring Microscope?
The Crack Measuring Microscope is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the scale?
If you need a calibration or verification document for the Crack Measuring Microscope scale, please discuss it with us before ordering so we can confirm what can be provided. Include this requirement in your enquiry through the contact page.
