Unlike most other metallurgical microscopes, this model comes with both reflected (EPI) and transmitted illuminations as well as a 1.3MP true color digital image system. It is an ideal instrument for metallurgical, mineral and crystal identification. It is also a great microscopy system for viewing transparent materials including those in biological applications. This microscope offers six magnification settings (40X, 100X, 250X, 400X, 1000X and 2500X). It comes with a 30 degree inclined 360 degree rotatable trinocular head, coarse & fine focusing, mechanical stage, and EPI (top) and transmitted (bottom) halogen illumination system. The digital camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features. This is an excellent metallurgical microscopy system for a variety of industrial and research applications including metallurgical labs, silicon wafer inspection, industrial Inspection, quality control, and foundries. It is brand new in original box. Retail value: $4400.
