Measuring Instruments LLC is offering a fine line of affordable metallurgical (metallographic) microscopes. These instruments are full-featured and of sturdy construction.
M500 Portable Metallurgical Microscope
The M500 is a self-contained portable metallurgical microscope that is ideal for use in the laboratory as well as in-situ examination. With its compact design and unique magnetic stand, the M500 can be attached to the curved surface of ferrous material at a range of angles to the horizontal as well as to a flat surface. A polished and etched surface area can be viewed with this instrument at magnifications up to 1500X, and the M500 can be adapted to a digital camera or CCD image process system to download the image to a PC for data transfer, analysis, storage or printout.
