Product overview
The MICROLAB 250E is a computerised microscope system designed for quantitative and qualitative analysis of fibres, yarns and non‑woven materials. It integrates image acquisition, measurement, annotation and statistical reporting to support laboratory testing and incoming material inspection.

Equipment suitable to:

• Rapid fineness analysis of single fibres
• Identification and percentage composition analysis of fibre blends
• Incoming material verification and fibre type identification
• Yarn structure inspection and defect detection
• Count measurement of circular-section yarns and filaments in dtex or den
• Quality and profile measurement of Lycra and synthetic multifilament single threads
• Compactness analysis of non-woven fabrics
• Sectional analysis of yarns and fibres
• Measurement of section area and perimeter
• Inspection of small mechanical parts (e.g. needle points, spinnerets)
• Processing, storage and printing of measurements with min/mean/max values, CV% and distribution graphs

The system is composed of:

• LEICA Biological Microscope: on-screen magnification range 195X to 2830X; micrometric slide movement; polarising light; configured for fibres and yarns analysis (delivered with PC, monitor and photographic-quality printer)
• Professional digital colour camera: 1/2.3" sensor, 25.0 MP, USB 3.0 for microscope image capture
• PC complete with LCD monitor and photographic-quality printer
• Software for image acquisition, measurement, live image annotation and statistical analysis with reporting
• Fibre Microscope Kit (Code 250.325) for microscopic sample preparation and analysis

Reference standards
ISO 137, UNI EN 12751, UNI 5423, UNI ISO 1130, ASTM D629, ASTM D2130, ASTM D276, AATCC 20, IWTO 8, IWS TM24, NIKE (section H, fiber content testing requirements).
