Digital inverted metallurgical microscope MAGUS Metal VD700

The inverted metallurgical microscope MAGUS Metal V700 is suitable for studying the microstructures of metals, alloys, and semiconductor materials in reflected light. The stage can support samples weighing up to 2 kg (only the underside of the sample needs to be flat). The other parts of the sample do not need to be prepared and can have any shape. This microscope is designed for brightfield and polarized-light observations. It is equipped with a side camera port and a trinocular head, and is suitable for a wide range of laboratory and industrial production applications.

Digital camera

The MAGUS CBF30 digital camera lets you take photographs and record short videos through a microscope, edit the resulting files, prepare presentations, and perform linear and angular measurements of objects (after proper calibration).
The device is designed for use with microscopes employing the brightfield method and 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives.

The 6.3 MP sensor lets you take photos and produce bright, detailed videos at a maximum resolution of 3072x2048 px. If necessary, the resolution can be reduced to 1536x1024 px. However, this will not affect the frame rate, which will remain at 59 fps, ensuring smooth frame transitions without stuttering or delays.

The back-illuminated SONY Exmor color CMOS sensor also allows the camera to be used in low-light conditions. The image will remain clear and bright. Using an adapter with magnification from 0,5x to 0,75x will provide the clearest possible image without distortion.

Optics

The microscope is equipped with a specially designed trinocular head that allows the eyepiece position to be adjusted; the head can also be rotated by 180°. The digital camera is mounted in the dedicated side port on the microscope frame, and a monitor can be installed in the third tube of the trinocular head. The beam splitter in the microscope body diverts the light beam at ratios of 100:0 and 0:100, while the beam splitter in the trinocular head has ratios of 50:50 and 100:0.

The revolving nosepiece is located beneath the sample being examined and has 5 objective slots (all included in the standard configuration). All objectives are infinity-corrected plan achromats with a long working distance. An additional objective can be installed in place of one of the supplied objectives. In its standard configuration, the microscope provides a total magnification range of 50x to 1000x.

Illumination

The reflected-light illuminator has a 30 W halogen bulb with adjustable brightness. It is powered by AC mains electricity. The brightness is sufficient for observations with all the included objectives using brightfield or polarized-light microscopy techniques. Köhler illumination can be set up, and the light source can be centered along all three axes. The supplied color filters can be used to alter color rendition in photomicrographs. Polarizing components are also provided: a removable analyzer and a removable polarizer.

Stage and focusing mechanism

The stage accommodates a round plate with a hole of 10 mm, 20 mm, or 30 mm, to which the sample being observed is secured using a holder. The stage is quite large (242x200 mm) and moves along two axes together with the sample secured to it. Image sharpness can be adjusted using the coarse and fine focus knobs (macro- and micrometer screws). The tension of the coarse-focus knob can be adjusted, and a locking knob is provided.

Accessories

Additional accessories make it possible to get the most out of the MAGUS Metal V700 microscope. Available options include eyepieces, long-working-distance plan achromatic objectives, calibration slides, and digital cameras.
