Metallurgical Microscope

 

 

A specialized microscope designed for looking at cross-sections of metal targets (metallurgical mounts). Typically inverted, these metallurgical microscopes employ high-resolution objective lenses with very short working distances. While these systems work well for this type of analysis, they are very limited in their range of applications.

Metallurgical Microscopes Parts and Functions

 

The main components of a metallurgical microscope are the optical system and the illumination system. The optical system typically consists of

  • Eyepiece lens, which is what the observer uses to see the image
  • Relay system, which reflects and enlarges the image
  • Objective lens, which takes in the image from the sample on the stage

The illumination system is designed to prevent glare from light bouncing off the surface of the sample and consists of

  • High-intensity light source
  • Condenser lenses
  • Aperture diaphragm
  • Plane glass reflector
  • Colored or polarizing filters

Limitations of Metallurgical Microscopes

1. Objects can only be viewed top-down


2. Best-suited for observation in the middle to high magnification range


3. Lens magnification is changed with a revolver, cannot change while continuously observing the target


4. Mounting attachment is required to add a camera


5. Various filters are available to provide multiple observation methods


6. Extremely shallow depth-of-field, which means that a defective part may be overlooked


7. Short working distance requires samples to be processed before being imaged


8. Complicated to operate, requiring users to be thoroughly trained


9. Eye pieces cause fatigue

 

Metallurgical Microscope Types

 

Metallurgical microscopes are divided mainly to 4 categories:
1) Upright Microscopes with reflected light only, in which the light comes from top lamp-house and is used for non-transparent samples

2) Upright Metallurgical Microscopes with reflected and transmitted lights, in which light can come from top and bottom light sources and can be used to examine the transparent and non-transparent samples.

3) Inverted metallurgical Microscopes which includes a lamp house for reflected illumination. Bioimager offers economic external light source to be able to use for tra

4) Boom Stand Metallurgical Microscopes

 

Application of Metallurgical Microscope

(1) Metallographic inspection of welding;

(2) Metallographic inspection of cast iron;

(3) Quality inspection of heat treatment;

(4) Inspection and evaluation of microstructure of various metal products and raw materials;

(5) Low magnification defect inspection of cast iron, cast steel, non-ferrous metals and raw materials;

(6) Determination of metal hardness (HV, HRC, HB, HL) and grain size rating;

(7) Determination of non-metallic inclusions;

(8) Depth determination of decarbonized layer/carburized hardening layer, etc.
