Inclined Metallurgical Microscope (MM - 2)

The MM-2 Inclined Metallurgical Microscope is designed for reflected light examination of opaque metallic specimens in laboratory environments. It features a monocular observation tube inclined at 45 degrees, a rigid mechanical body, and a graduated mechanical stage for controlled sample positioning. Bright field horizontal illumination with diaphragm controls, precision nosepiece, and variable light intensity enable accurate surface structure analysis in metallurgical and material testing laboratories.

Key Features

 

  • Monocular observation tube inclined at 45 degrees

  • Designed for reflected light metallurgical examination

  • Bright field horizontal illumination system

  • Integrated field and aperture diaphragms

  • Provision for centering and filter insertion

  • Quadruple revolving nosepiece for objective selection

Working Principle

 

The MM-2 Metallurgical Microscope operates by directing reflected light from a horizontal illuminator onto the surface of opaque specimens. The reflected light is collected by metallurgical objectives and transmitted through the optical system to the eyepiece for observation. Adjustable diaphragms control contrast and illumination intensity, while the graduated mechanical stage enables accurate positioning of samples for consistent surface structure evaluation.
