Optika B-510METR Trinocular metallurgical microscope, 500x, IOS PLAN MET, Incident and Transmitted light
Optika B-510METR Trinocular metallurgical microscope, 500x, IOS PLAN MET, Incident and Transmitted light
€4.558,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-510METR is a trinocular metallurgical microscope that adds a transmitted light path to the incident light platform of the B-510MET. It carries IOS W-PLAN MET objectives from 5x to 50x, giving 50x to 500x total magnification for opaque specimen work. The X-LED8 incident light source pairs with an X-LED3 transmitted illumination system and swing-out condenser, so the same stand covers brightfield, oblique, darkfield, and polarized light observation as needed. The stage accepts samples up to 31 mm high. It suits laboratories that examine both opaque and transparent specimens on one metallurgical stand.
Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope with Incident and Transmitted Light
The Optika B-510METR combines incident and transmitted light on one metallurgical stand. The X-LED8 incident source covers brightfield, oblique, and simple polarized light observation of opaque samples, while the X-LED3 transmitted path with swing-out condenser adds brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and polarized light for transparent specimens.
- Incident light: brightfield, oblique, and simple polarized light with X-LED8
- Transmitted light: brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and polarized light options with X-LED3
- IOS W-PLAN MET objectives from 5x to 50x, anti-fungus treated
- Stage accepts samples up to 31 mm high
- Suited to laboratories examining both opaque and transparent specimens
Optika B-510METR Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope
The Optika B-510METR is a trinocular metallurgical microscope from the B-510 research series, built for laboratories that need both incident and transmitted light on one stand.
IOS W-PLAN MET objectives pair with X-LED8 incident illumination and an X-LED3 transmitted light path with swing-out condenser, covering opaque and transparent specimen work.
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.
Incident Light for Opaque Specimens
The X-LED8 light source runs at 8 W with brightness control and a lifetime over 50000 hours. A polarizer with 360 degree rotatable analyzer supports oblique and simple polarized light observation.
Transmitted Light for Transparent Specimens
A swing-out condenser, N.A. 0.2/0.9 with iris diaphragm, works with X-LED3 illumination and full Kohler adjustment, adding brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and polarized light options for transparent samples. A beamsplitter combines the reflected and transmitted light paths.
Stage for Bulk Metallographic Samples
The 233×147 mm double layer mechanical stage accepts samples up to 31 mm high, with a 78×54 mm X-Y moving range and a 38 mm coarse focus travel.
Ideal Applications
The B-510METR suits laboratories that need both incident and transmitted light on one microscope.
- Metal and alloy microstructure analysis
- Ore and mineral examination in both opaque and thin section form
- Ceramics, polymers, and composite material inspection
- Combined incident and transmitted light workflows
- Industrial quality control and materials research
Choose the B-510METR when:
- You need both incident and transmitted light on one stand
- You examine opaque metallographic samples and transparent thin sections
- You need simple polarized light on both light paths
- You want a single research-grade stand for varied materials work
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika B-510METR combines IOS W-PLAN MET optics with dual incident and transmitted illumination on a trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty.
