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

Metallographic microscope for observing metallographic specimens in conjunction with a high-resolution digital camera.

  • ability to observe specimens in incident and transmitted light for bright field, side illumination and polarisation techniques
  • possibility to record data on SD card
  • ability to control the camera operation and image acquisition  from 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)

Parameter:

  • a software module to measure parameters such as area (circle, square, rectangle and any shape), radius, diameter, angle and generate reports of these measurements as an Excel files
  • a software module for generating, visualising and measuring 3D surfaces derived from the scanning an image with extended depth of field in the z-axis. 

Leica S9i stereo microscope
Magnification range: 7.8 x – 160 x (1.0 x objective, 10 x eyepiece)

  • manual Z-axis stand
