Optika IM-5MET Inverted brightfield/darkfield metallurgical microscope, DIC slot, IOS, w/o objectives
Optika IM-5MET Inverted brightfield/darkfield metallurgical microscope, DIC slot, IOS, w/o objectives
€7.386,00 excl. VAT
The Optika IM-5MET is an inverted trinocular metallurgical microscope for brightfield and darkfield examination of opaque samples from below. It runs on a configurable IOS LWD objective platform, sold separately, covering U-PLAN MET, U-PLAN MET BD, U-PLAN F MET, and U-PLAN F MET BD options with working distances up to 19.5 mm. The nosepiece includes a DIC slot for differential interference contrast work. A polarizer with 360 degree rotatable analyzer supports simple polarized light observation, powered by a 100 W halogen source. It suits materials science laboratories that examine polished or as-received samples from an inverted stand.
Inverted Metallurgical Microscope for Brightfield and Darkfield Sample Examination
The Optika IM-5MET is built for materials laboratories that need to examine opaque samples from an inverted stand, useful for large or irregular pieces that rest directly on the stage. The configurable IOS LWD objective platform covers U-PLAN MET and U-PLAN F MET options, and a DIC slot on the nosepiece supports differential interference contrast work.
- Configurable IOS LWD U-PLAN MET and U-PLAN F MET objective platform, sold separately
- DIC slot on the nosepiece for differential interference contrast
- Polarizer with 360 degree rotatable analyzer for simple polarized light
- Brightfield and darkfield incident light observation
- Suited to materials science and industrial metallography from an inverted stand
Optika IM-5MET Inverted Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope
The Optika IM-5MET is an inverted trinocular metallurgical microscope built for brightfield and darkfield examination of opaque samples, with a DIC slot for differential interference contrast.
The objective platform is configurable and sold separately, covering IOS LWD U-PLAN MET, U-PLAN MET BD, U-PLAN F MET, and U-PLAN F MET BD options to match the sample and technique.
Configurable IOS LWD U-PLAN MET Objective Platform
Objectives are sold separately and cover U-PLAN MET and U-PLAN F MET series from 5x to 100x, with working distances up to 19.5 mm on the 5x U-PLAN F MET objective, all with an M26 thread.
DIC Slot for Differential Interference Contrast
The nosepiece includes a removable DIC slot, letting the microscope add differential interference contrast observation for surface topography work.
Metallographic Attachment with Polarizer
A polarizer and 360 degree rotatable analyzer support simple polarized light observation, and darkfield illumination is available for surface defect detection, with centerable field and aperture diaphragms.
Mechanical Stage for Inverted Sample Placement
The 240×250 mm mechanical stage moves on rack and pinion with a 50×50 mm range, specimen clips, and a metal round insert, letting samples rest directly on the stage from above.
Ideal Applications
The IM-5MET suits laboratories examining opaque samples that benefit from an inverted stand.
- Metal and alloy microstructure analysis from below
- Large or irregular sample examination
- Surface topography work with DIC
- Industrial quality control and materials research
- Simple polarized light analysis of metallographic samples
Choose the IM-5MET when:
- You need to examine large or irregular opaque samples from an inverted stand
- You need a DIC slot for differential interference contrast
- You need simple polarized light for grain structure analysis
- You want to configure the objective set to your application
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika IM-5MET combines a configurable IOS LWD objective platform with a DIC slot and a polarizer attachment on an inverted trinocular stand.
