MAGUS Metal VD700 LCD Metallurgical Inverted Digital Microscope

The MAGUS Metal VD700 LCD 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 CHD20 Digital Camera is equipped with a 2MP sensor and produces realistic Full HD images at a resolution of 1920x1080px. The camera features high light sensitivity that is suitable for working in fluorescent light. Through the use of R G B primary color mosaic filters low dark current and clear image are achieved. The camera uses an HDMI interface to connect directly to a TV monitor or projector. In this mode the camera operates autonomously without a PC. The HDMI interface provides a high and stable transfer rate from the camera to the external screen. An additional USB2.0 interface is provided for connecting the camera to a PC. Video is recorded at 60fps or 50fps depending on the video output interface. The camera combines high FPS and high bandwidth HDMI and therefore videos are vivid with no freezes or gaps between frames. At maximum resolution the image is well-detailed moving objects are visible without bugs and object movement is displayed without delays.

Monitor

The MAGUS MCD20 Monitor is designed to use a visualization system of the MAGUS microscope. It is connected to a camera mounted on the microscope to display real-time images. It supports MAGUS full HD resolution HDMI cameras. The screen diagonal is 13.3 inches. The IPS matrix provides bright images with large viewing angles. If you look at the display at an angle the color reproduction is not distorted. The display can be placed on a folding stand on a table or shelf or mounted directly to the camera or microscope stand.

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 80/20.

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 LCD 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 80/20 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
• Large selection of compatible accessories to expand the capabilities of the microscope

Key features of the camera:

• The camera operates autonomously without a connection to a PC via HDMI interface. Can be connected to a PC via USB2.0 interface
• The camera resolution is 1920x1080px – an ideal choice for displaying images on a Full HD monitor
• 60fps or 50fps depending on the video output interface for observing moving objects recording video and moving the preparation without jerkiness or lags
• SONY Starvis color CMOS backlit sensor provides low noise level and high light sensitivity even in low-light conditions. You will get clearer brighter and more color-saturated images.
• Software with photo video recording editing external display functions linear and angular measurements
