Metallographic microscope 4XB

laboratoryfor quality controlmetallurgical

Instrument overview
Designed for identification and analysis of microstructures in metallic and alloy materials. Suitable for factory inspection and laboratory use to assess casting quality, inspect raw materials, analyze metallographic structures after treatment, and study surface phenomena such as coatings. The instrument features an inverted configuration: the specimen surface coincides with the stage surface, so observation is unaffected by specimen height. The design includes a compact optical head, a large base for support and an articulated arm that lowers the instrument’s center of gravity. Eyepieces are tilted at 45° to improve operator comfort.

Key applications

• Microstructure analysis of metals and alloys
• Casting quality inspection in production environments
• Raw material verification
• Metallographic analysis after heat treatment or other processes
• Investigation of surface treatments and coatings

Usage and maintenance (brief)
Place the specimen on the observation surface and adjust illumination and objectives to obtain a clear image. Clean optical components and mechanical parts regularly to prevent dust and contamination. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions, avoid impacts and prolonged exposure to humid environments, and schedule routine checks of optical alignment and mechanical fittings.
