Product Description

It is a new generation product and is the follow-up model of EPIPHOT TME300/200 metallographic microscope. It supports bright field, dark field, differential interference, fluorescence, simple polarization and other observation methods. It has compact structure, convenient operation, uniform illumination, and clear imaging. , Energy-saving, power-saving, durable and other features.

Easy to operate

The parts that often need to be manipulated are concentrated near the observer, that is, in front of the microscope. Such as: field diaphragm, aperture diaphragm, polarizer, analyzer, inspection board insertion and removal, and switching between bright and dark fields.

Compact structure, small footprint, vibration resistance, sturdiness and durability

The box-shaped structure is firm and durable; compared with TME300, it has a smaller footprint and can save about 1/3 of the space.

High optical performance, uniform lighting, energy saving and power saving

Adopting Nikon's unique CFI₆₀ optical system, not only can get a high contrast, clear bright field image, but also a dark field image with 3 times the brightness of the past; newly developed 1x and 40x objective lenses; eyepiece view The field number is up to 25mm, combined with the newly developed 1x objective lens, samples with a diameter of 25mm can be seen all at once; the illumination is uniform and the image is clear; the newly developed 12V50W halogen lamp illumination, its illumination brightness is completely comparable In the past, 12V100W halogen lamp lighting, and the electricity can be saved by half.

Photomicrography and image processing

Through the optional Nikon DS series digital camera, photomicrography can be carried out; the microscopic pictures taken can be observed and processed in two ways, respectively:

DS-L2

1. DS-L2 independent display controller (image data can be saved to U disk)

DS-U2

2. DS-U2 type computer is connected to the controller, the latter needs to be used with NIS Elements software

Use the functions in the NIS Elements software to realize seamless splicing of microscopic images;

Using the functions in the NIS Elements software, you can perform material analysis, such as grain size analysis and graphite spheroidization rate analysis of ductile iron.
