Product Description
The YR0258 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope is at the forefront of technological advancement in the realm of optical microscopy. This sophisticated instrument features an Infinity Optical System, designed for optimal image clarity and precision. The optics are complemented by a Seidentopf Trinocular Head, inclined at 30° with an interpupillary range of 48-75mm and adjustable diopters for enhanced user comfort. These attributes make the YR0258 an ideal choice for prolonged usage, reducing strain and enhancing efficiency in observing samples.
The eyepiece boasts an Extra Wide Field (EW10x/20mm) with high eyepoint, ensuring a vast field of view that reveals fine sample details with extraordinary clarity. A Quintuple Nosepiece allows for seamless objective changes, supporting a range of objectives from 4x to 40x magnifications.
The focusing mechanism is particularly noteworthy, featuring a Coaxial Coarse and Fine Adjustment system, with a coarse stroke of 37.7mm per rotation and a fine stroke of 0.2mm per rotation. This precision ensures detailed imaging, crucial for metallurgical analyses.
Additional features include a robust Plain Stage measuring 160*250mm with slide clips and an optional mechanical stage for X-Y coaxial control, enhancing sample manipulation. The Polarizing Attachment and a selection of filters—green, blue, yellow, and ground glass—expand the microscope’s versatility. For illumination, it incorporates an external Kohler system with an adjustable halogen lamp, offering consistent brightness and clarity.
