The MAGUS Metal 600 BD metallurgical microscope is designed for studying objects in reflected light using bright-field, dark-field, and polarization microscopy techniques. The microscope is used to examine metal and semiconductor samples, as well as other polished, flat samples with high reflectivity. The transmitted-light technique allows examination of translucent samples such as thin films and particles trapped on filters. The microscope can be used in mechanical and metallurgical engineering, engineering and quality control laboratories, and polytechnic institutes.

Optics

The trinocular head is equipped with a trinocular tube for mounting a digital camera. The beam splitter directs light to the camera in two positions: 100:0 and 0:100. The light beam reaches either the eyepiece or the trinocular tube. Diopter adjustment ring on the left eyepiece.

The microscope’s magnification in the basic configuration is 50–400x. Additional objectives and eyepieces will increase the magnification range. The microscope uses plan achromatic objectives with a long working distance, suitable for bright-field and dark-field microscopy techniques. The revolving nosepiece has five slots for mounting objectives. Four objectives are included and one is optional. The revolving nosepiece is oriented toward the inside of the instrument, allowing the user to see which objective is in the optical path.

Illumination

The illumination uses warm-light halogen lamps that do not strain the eyes during prolonged observations. The transmitted-light illuminator has a power of 30 W and the reflected-light illuminator has a power of 50 W, ensuring comfortable observation using dark-field microscopy.

The reflected-light illumination system contains a dark-field device, a polarization device, a centering field and aperture diaphragms for the Köhler illumination method, and color filters. The light source can also be centered.

The transmitted-light illumination system includes a condenser with a swing-out lens for low-magnification objectives, an aperture diaphragm, and a field diaphragm for the Köhler method.

Stage and focusing mechanism

The sample moves together with the stage along two axes. The height of the sample being examined must not exceed 20 mm. The stage has a transparent glass insert for observing translucent samples.

Focusing is adjusted using coarse- and fine-focus knobs located on both sides at the bottom of the microscope, allowing the observer to rest their hands freely on the table instead of holding them in the air. The coarse-focus mechanism has a locking knob on the right and a tension adjustment knob on the left.

Accessories

The range of accessories compatible with the MAGUS Metal 600 BD microscope includes: long-working-distance objectives for dark-field and bright-field observations, eyepieces, calibration slides, and digital cameras.
