Optika IM-300METLD Inverted brightfield metallurgical microscope, 500x IOS LWD PLAN MET, LED illumination
Optika IM-300METLD Inverted brightfield metallurgical microscope, 500x IOS LWD PLAN MET, LED illumination
€2.722,00 excl. VAT
The Optika IM-300METLD is an inverted trinocular metallurgical microscope for brightfield examination of opaque samples from below. It carries IOS LWD U-PLAN MET objectives from 5x to 50x, giving 50x to 500x total magnification. The metallographic light source is an 18 W LED with brightness control and a lifetime over 65000 hours, replacing halogen bulbs on earlier inverted metallurgical models. Simple polarized light observation is available alongside brightfield. It suits materials science laboratories that examine polished or as-received samples from an inverted stand.
Inverted Metallurgical Microscope with LED Incident Illumination
The Optika IM-300METLD is built for materials laboratories that need to examine opaque samples from an inverted stand. The 18 W LED light source replaces halogen illumination with a lifetime over 65000 hours, and IOS LWD U-PLAN MET objectives cover 5x to 50x for brightfield and simple polarized light observation.

- 18 W LED light source with over 65000 hours lifetime, replacing halogen
- Brightfield and simple polarized light observation
- Fixed stage with metal round insert for direct sample placement
- Suited to materials science and industrial metallography from an inverted stand
Optika IM-300METLD Inverted Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope
The Optika IM-300METLD is an inverted trinocular metallurgical microscope built for brightfield examination of opaque samples, with an 18 W LED light source replacing halogen illumination.
IOS LWD U-PLAN MET objectives cover 5x to 50x, giving 50x to 500x total magnification for metallographic sample analysis.
IOS LWD U-PLAN MET Objectives
The objective set covers 5x, 10x, 20x, and 50x, infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance, working distances from 4.0 mm to 10.8 mm.
18 W LED Illumination
The metallographic light source is an 18 W LED with brightness control and a lifetime over 65000 hours at 4000 K, replacing the halogen bulbs used on earlier inverted metallurgical models.
Brightfield and Simple Polarized Light
The microscope covers brightfield observation as standard, with simple polarized light available for distinguishing grain structure and surface features.
Fixed Stage for Direct Sample Placement
The 250×160 mm fixed stage accepts a metal round insert, letting samples rest directly on the stage from above, with a mechanical stage available as an option for X-Y positioning.
Ideal Applications
The IM-300METLD suits laboratories examining opaque samples that benefit from an inverted stand.
- Metal and alloy microstructure analysis from below
- Large or irregular sample examination
- Industrial quality control and materials research
- Simple polarized light analysis of metallographic samples
- Routine metallography without a mercury or halogen bulb
Choose the IM-300METLD when:
- You need to examine large or irregular opaque samples from an inverted stand
- You want LED illumination instead of halogen for longer lamp life
- You need simple polarized light for grain structure analysis
- You need a straightforward brightfield metallurgical platform
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika IM-300METLD combines IOS LWD U-PLAN MET optics with 18 W LED illumination on an inverted trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty.
