Working Principle of Metallurgical Microscopes

Tailored for material & metallurgical analysis, Murzider metallurgical microscopes adopt mature reflected-light (epi-illumination) optical principle, perfectly matching the observation requirements of polished and chemically etched metallographic samples:
1. High-stability light source provides uniform illumination for metallographic specimens;
2. Vertical illumination optical path eliminates light loss for opaque metal materials;
3. Precision beam splitter guides light vertically to the sample surface;
4. Light reflects through the etched metal microstructure to carry tissue information;
5. Professional optical filters optimize image contrast of grain boundaries and inclusions;
6. High-resolution imaging system presents clear metallographic structure;
7. Realize intuitive identification of metal grains, phases, pores and fatigue defects to support quantitative metallurgical analysis.
