MAGUS Metal VD700 Metallurgical Inverted Digital Microscope

The MAGUS Metal VD700 Metallurgical Inverted Microscope is suitable for studying the microstructure of metals, alloys, and semiconductors in reflected light. The stage can hold samples up to 2kg (only the bottom surface of the sample must be flat). The other parts of the sample do not require processing and can be of any shape. The microscope is designed for brightfield and polarized light observations, has a side camera port and a trinocular tube, and it is suitable for a wide range of laboratory and production applications.

Digital camera

The MAGUS CBF30 Digital Camera enables you to take photographs and shoot video through a microscope, edit the resulting files, organize presentations, and make linear and angular measurements of objects (after correct calibration).
The device is designed to work on microscopes using the brightfield method and 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives.

The 6.3MP sensor enables you to shoot bright and detailed photos and videos at a maximum resolution of 3072x2048px. If necessary, the resolution can be lowered to 1536x1024px. However, this will not affect the frame rate, which will remain at 59fps, thereby ensuring smooth frame transitions without jerkiness or delays.

The SONY Exmor backlit color CMOS sensor enables you to use the camera even in low-light conditions. The image will remain readable and bright. Using an adapter with a magnification from 0.5x to 0.75x will provide the clearest possible image without distortion.

Optics

The microscope is equipped with a trinocular head of special design – the position of the eyepieces can be adjusted; 180° rotation is available. The digital camera is mounted in the side camera port on the microscope body and the monitor is mounted in the trinocular tube on the microscope head. Beam splitting on the body – 100:0/0:100, on the trinocular head is 50:50 and 100:0.

The revolving nosepiece is located under the examined sample and has 5 objective slots (all of them are included in the basic configuration). All objectives are infinity plan achromatic ones with long working distances. An additional objective can be mounted instead of any of the supplied objectives. In the basic configuration, the microscope magnification ranges from 50x to 1000x.

Illumination

The reflected light illuminator has a 30W halogen bulb with adjustable brightness. The lamphouse is powered by an AC power supply. It is bright enough for making observations with all the included objectives using brightfield or polarization microscopy techniques. There is an option to set up the Köhler illumination, and the light source can be centered along three axes. Color filters can be used to change color rendition in microscopic photography. There are polarization devices – an analyzer and a polarizer – that are both removable.

Stage and focusing mechanism

A round stage plate with a 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm hole that is inserted in the stage, and the specimen is fixed with a specimen holder. The stage is quite large (242x200mm) and it moves with the attached specimen along two axes. You can adjust the sharpness of the image using the coarse and fine focusing knobs. You can adjust the stiffness of the coarse knob tension, and there is a lock knob.

Accessories

Additional accessories make it possible to get the most out of the MAGUS Metal VD700 microscope. Eyepieces, long working distance plan achromatic objectives, calibration slides, and digital cameras are available.

Key features of the microscope:

• Study of large and heavy samples using brightfield and polarization microscopy techniques; only one side of the sample should be processed
• Large stage, round rotating stage plates with 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm holes
• The trinocular head can be rotated 180° during installation
• Two options for mounting a digital camera and monitor: on the trinocular head with 50:50 and 100:0 beam splitting or on the microscope body with 100/0 or 0/100 beam splitting
• Reflected light observations, light source – 30W halogen bulb with adjustable brightness
• Köhler illumination setup, removable analyzer and polarizer, and a light source that can be centered
