Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/40) is an inverted reflected-light microscope used to examine polished and etched metal specimens in metallurgy, materials science and engineering laboratories. Its objectives look up at the specimen from below a 150 x 200 mm stage, and Koehler illumination from a 6 V 20 W halogen lamp gives even lighting. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment exporter from India.

Specifications

What Is the Inverted Metallurgical Microscope Used For?

Metals are opaque, so their structure is studied with light reflected from a polished and etched surface. Students use this microscope to see grain boundaries, phases such as ferrite and pearlite, inclusions, porosity and weld zones, and to compare heat-treated samples in a materials science practical.

Because the objectives sit under the stage, the prepared face of the specimen simply rests downward on the stage plate. Samples of different heights, including mounted pucks and small cut sections, stay in the same focal plane without levelling in plasticine. Start with the PL10x objective to find the area, then move to PL25x or PL40x for detail, and use the 15 x 15 mm cross travel to scan the surface systematically.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Whether the optional PL60x objective is required
• Any imaging requirement (the listed head is binocular), so we can advise before quoting
• Mains voltage and number of microscopes

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope built upside down?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope places its objectives beneath the stage, so a polished metal specimen rests face down on the stage plate. Specimens of different heights stay in focus without levelling, and heavy or irregular samples can be examined without special mounting.

What objectives and eyepiece does the Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope have?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope has PL10x, PL25x and PL40x objectives, with PL60x available as an option, on a quadruple nosepiece that revolves on a ball bearing. The eyepiece is 10x (16 mm) in a binocular head inclined at 30°.

What illumination does this metallurgical microscope use?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope uses a Koehler illumination system with a 6 V 20 W halogen lamp and adjustable brightness. Koehler lighting spreads light evenly over the field, which helps when judging grain structure and etching contrast across a polished surface.

How big is the stage and how far does it travel?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope has a co-axial mechanical stage measuring 150 x 200 mm with a cross travel of 15 x 15 mm. The large stage supports bulky specimens, and the controlled travel lets the user scan the prepared surface field by field.

Can a camera be used with the Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope is listed with a binocular observation head, and no camera port is included in its specification. If you need to capture micrographs, mention this in your enquiry so we can advise on suitable options before quoting.

Who supplies the Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope?
The Research Inverted Metallurgical Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. It serves engineering colleges, metallurgy departments, training centres, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
