The MAGUS Metal V700 BD metallurgical microscope is an inverted metallurgical microscope: this means that the objective nosepiece is positioned below the specimen and observations are made using reflected light. Available microscopy techniques: brightfield, darkfield, or polarized light. This microscope is used to examine metals, alloys, semiconductor materials, and other opaque materials measuring up to and weighing up to 2 kg. It is widely used in industrial facilities, factories, quality control laboratories, as well as universities and research centers.

Optics

The microscope design allows the head to be mounted in the normal position or rotated by 180°. A digital camera and monitor can be installed: the microscope head is equipped with a trinocular tube, and the frame has a side camera port. Both optical paths have a beam splitter: with ratios of 50:50 and 100:0 for the microscope head, and 100:0 and 0:100 for the frame.

A nosepiece for 5 objectives is positioned below the specimen being observed. There are 4 slots for installing the objectives included in the package and one additional slot for an extra objective. All objectives for this microscope are labeled BD, meaning they are specifically designed for both brightfield and darkfield microscopy, and have a long working distance.

Illumination

Light source: 50 W halogen lamp. The warm light reduces eye strain and is ideal for long hours of microscope work. Thanks to the powerful illumination, sharp, richly detailed images are obtained using any microscopy technique and any objective. The light source can be centered along three axes, and Köhler illumination can be adjusted using the field and aperture diaphragms. The illumination system for reflected-light observations also includes a polarizing device and the necessary equipment for darkfield microscopy.

Stage and focusing mechanism

A round, rotatable plate is positioned at the center of the stage. Different plates can be used depending on the desired observation; they differ in the diameter of the aperture: 10 mm, 20 mm, or 30 mm. After placing the specimen on the stage, it can be secured with a holder. The specimen moves together with the stage in two directions: along the X-axis and the Y-axis. The coarse focusing mechanism (with a coarse adjustment knob equipped with a locking knob and tension adjustment) and the fine focusing mechanism are used to adjust sharpness. The coaxial coarse- and fine-focusing knobs (macro- and micrometer screws) are positioned on both sides, so you can rest your hands on the table while using the microscope, without having to hold them in midair when adjusting the instrument.

Accessories

Adding accessories to the MAGUS Metal V700 BD microscope can enhance its performance. The range of accessories includes eyepieces, long-working-distance objectives for darkfield and brightfield, digital cameras, and calibration slides.
