Binocular Metallurgical Microscopes (MM-3)
The MM-3 Binocular Metallurgical Microscope is designed for reflected light examination of opaque metallic samples in laboratory environments. It features a binocular observation head with hard coated prisms, a stable mechanical structure, and a graduated mechanical stage. Bright field horizontal illumination with centering provision, variable light control, and metallurgical optics enable detailed surface analysis for quality control, education, and routine metallurgical investigations.

Working Principle
The MM-3 Metallurgical Microscope operates by directing bright field reflected light onto the surface of opaque specimens. The reflected light is collected by metallurgical objectives and transmitted through hard coated prism optics to the binocular eyepieces. Illumination intensity and centering are adjusted for contrast control, while the graduated mechanical stage allows accurate positioning of samples during surface structure observation.
