Leica DM750M microscope
Objectives: 5 x, 10 x, 20 x, 50 x
Ocular: 10 x

Metallographic microscope for observing metallographic samples together with a high-resolution digital camera.

  • possibility to observe samples in reflected and transmitted light for brightfield, side illumination and polarisation techniques
  • possibility of data recording on SD card
  • possibility to control the camera operation and image capture by another workstation via WiFi communication

Modular stereo microscope Leica M205 A
Magnification range: 7.8 x – 160 x (1.0 x objective, 10 x eyepiece)

Parameters:

  • a software module allowing measurement of parameters such as area (circle, square, rectangle and any shape), radius, diameter, angles and generation of reports from these measurements as an Excel file
  • a software module enabling the generation, visualisation and measurement of 3D surfaces derived from the scanning of an image with extended depth of field in the z-axis.
