Description
Inspect heavy raw castings and unmounted alloys using the Motic AE2000 MET Inverted Microscope modular chassis. Designed without a pre-installed objective payload, this heavy-duty core unit allows materials engineering teams to install specific CCIS LM Plan brightfield or LM Plan BD brightfield/darkfield objectives tailored to their quality control standards. The inverted stage architecture allows polished metallurgical mounts and large silicon wafers to sit completely flat over the objective aperture without clay leveling presses or hand leveling.
Reflected surface illumination is driven by an external rear-mounted 12V/100W quartz halogen lamp house with field and aperture diaphragms, controlled by a heavy-duty rotary potentiometer. The 45-degree inclined trinocular head incorporates a vertical photo exit tube with manual light-path selection levers, paired with high-eyepoint N-WF 10x/20 mm eyepieces with dual diopter adjustments across a 48 mm to 75 mm interpupillary span. The hard-coated 200 x 140 mm mechanical stage provides 75 x 50 mm of coaxial XY travel, supported by coaxial brass focus gears with 2-micron graduations across a 13.2 kg cast chassis running on universal 100-240V AC power.
Key Features of Motic AE2000 MET Inverted Microscope
A modular research-grade inverted metallurgical microscope chassis featuring high-power 100W quartz halogen epi-illumination. Combines an unequipped quintuple nosepiece with an inverted 75 x 50 mm mechanical stage, vertical camera port, polarizer sliders, and 2-micron brass focus mechanics.
- Inverted optical path accommodates large, heavy metallurgical samples without special mounts
- Modular chassis accepts full range of CCIS LM Plan or LM Plan BD metallurgical objectives
- External rear-mounted 12V/100W quartz halogen lamp house with continuous analog dimmer
- Integrated field and aperture iris diaphragms for precision Köhler contrast and glare control
- Top-mounted vertical trinocular photo tube with manual beam-splitting selector levers
- Hard-coated 200 x 140 mm mechanical stage with 75 x 50 mm coaxial XY translation drive
- Coaxial coarse and fine focus drive working on precision brass gears with 2-micron steps
- Solid 13.2 kg cast-metal chassis provides complete vibration-free benchtop stability
Inverted Metallurgical Geometry & Modular CCIS Optics
Heavy casting slices and raw steel forgings cannot tilt or shift on an inverted stage: simply place the polished surface over the aperture, and it is automatically parallel to the optical corridor. This modular chassis allows quality teams to install standard brightfield objectives or upgrade to darkfield and polarization optics. The side-facing quintuple nosepiece revolves smoothly on precision ball bearings, providing positive click-stops for exact lens centering.
100W Halogen Light Core & Polarized Surface Analysis
The 100W quartz halogen illuminator provides the high photon density required to resolve fine micro-structural details in dark, low-reflectivity alloys. The included polarizer and analyzer sliders slide directly into the epi-illuminator block, allowing metallurgists to extinguish surface glare on polished metals and distinguish between isotropic and anisotropic mineral inclusions. The vertical camera port allows seamless integration of C-mount cameras for formal metallurgical grain size reporting.
- Inverted stage layout speeds up workflow by removing sample leveling routines
- 100W halogen illuminator cuts through dark, light-absorbing industrial alloys
- Modular nosepiece accepts customized objective selections spanning 50x to 1000x metrics
