Optika B-510MET Trinocular metallurgical microscope, 500x, IOS PLAN MET, Incident light
Optika B-510MET Trinocular metallurgical microscope, 500x, IOS PLAN MET, Incident light
€4.389,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-510MET is a trinocular metallurgical microscope for incident light examination of opaque specimens. It carries IOS W-PLAN MET objectives from 5x to 50x, giving 50x to 500x total magnification. The X-LED8 light source runs at 8 W with brightness control and a lifetime over 50000 hours, and the metallographic attachment adds a polarizer with a 360 degree rotatable analyzer for oblique and simple polarized light observation. The stage accepts samples up to 33 mm high. It suits materials science, metallography, and industrial quality control where transmitted light is not required.
Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope for Incident Light Materials Analysis
The Optika B-510MET is built for observing specimens that stay opaque even at microscopic thickness, using incident light only. The X-LED8 light source and metallographic attachment give brightfield, oblique, and simple polarized light observation with a centerable field and aperture diaphragm for consistent illumination.
- IOS W-PLAN MET objectives from 5x to 50x, anti-fungus treated
- X-LED8 light source, 8 W, lifetime over 50000 hours
- Polarizer with 360 degree rotatable analyzer for simple polarized light
- Stage accepts samples up to 33 mm high
- Suited to materials science, metallography, and industrial quality control
Optika B-510MET Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope
The Optika B-510MET is a trinocular metallurgical microscope from the B-510 research series, built for incident light microscopy of opaque specimens such as metals, ores, and ceramics.
IOS W-PLAN MET objectives pair with the X-LED8 light source and a metallographic attachment for brightfield, oblique, and simple polarized light observation.
IOS W-PLAN MET Objectives
The objective set covers 5x, 10x, 20x, and 50x, infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance, giving 50x to 500x total magnification.
X-LED8 Incident Illumination
The X-LED8 light source runs at 8 W, comparable to a 100 W halogen bulb, with brightness control and a lifetime over 50000 hours at 6300 K. Centerable field and aperture diaphragms keep illumination consistent across the field of view.
Metallographic Attachment with Polarizer
A polarizer and 360 degree rotatable analyzer support oblique and simple polarized light observation, useful for distinguishing grain structure and surface features in metals and minerals.
Stage for Bulk Metallographic Samples
The 233×147 mm double layer mechanical stage accepts samples up to 33 mm high, with a 78×54 mm X-Y moving range and a 40 mm coarse focus travel for thicker specimens.
Ideal Applications
The B-510MET suits laboratories that examine opaque, reflective materials with incident light only.
- Metal and alloy microstructure analysis
- Ore and mineral examination
- Ceramics, polymers, and composite material inspection
- Semiconductor and integrated circuit inspection
- Industrial quality control and materials research
Choose the B-510MET when:
- You need incident light microscopy for opaque specimens
- You need simple polarized light for grain structure analysis
- You examine bulk samples up to 33 mm high
- You do not need a transmitted light path
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika B-510MET combines IOS W-PLAN MET optics with X-LED8 incident illumination and a polarizer attachment on a trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty.
