Description

GHEXA-13.0211-DIC Upright Metallurgical Microscope (Transmitted & Reflected, BF/DF/DIC/Polarizing)

The GHEXA-13.0211-DIC is a high-performance upright metallurgical microscope engineered for advanced materials analysis, combining transmitted and reflected light illumination with Brightfield (BF), Darkfield (DF), Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), and Polarizing capabilities. It features a trinocular head with wide-field WF10x/22mm eyepieces, a quintuple nosepiece carrying long working distance infinity plan coverless LMPlan DIC objectives (5x, 10x, 20x) plus a plan 40x objective, a comprehensive 5x/10x/20x DIC push-pull group slider for instant DIC switching, a large double-layer mechanical stage (210×140mm with 63×50mm travel) for precise sample positioning, powerful 12V 50W halogen reflected illumination (with transmitted illumination support), and full polarizing compatibility. This versatile, research-grade instrument delivers exceptional flat-field imaging, enhanced surface topography via DIC, defect highlighting in DF, and crystallographic information through polarization—making it the ideal solution for metallography, failure analysis, semiconductor inspection, coatings evaluation, and materials R&D in industrial, pharmaceutical, biotech, and university laboratories.

Key Applications & Uses

• Metallographic Examination & Microstructure Analysis: Ideal for grain size determination, phase identification, inclusion mapping, heat treatment evaluation, and weld seam inspection in steels, alloys, titanium, and non-ferrous metals using BF, DF, and DIC.
• Failure & Fracture Analysis: Reveals fine surface topography, crack initiation/propagation, fatigue features, corrosion morphology, and fracture surfaces with enhanced 3D-like contrast via DIC and defect highlighting in DF.
• Semiconductor & Electronics Quality Control: Enables high-resolution inspection of wafer surfaces, thin films, die attach, solder joints, interconnects, and packaging defects under multiple contrast modes.
• Coatings, Thin Films & Surface Engineering: Supports precise assessment of coating uniformity, adhesion, porosity, delamination, thickness, and wear in PVD/CVD, anodizing, plating, and thermal spray applications.
• Materials R&D & Petrography: Facilitates advanced characterization of ceramics, composites, polymers, minerals, ores, and anisotropic materials with polarizing capability (upgrade) for birefringence and crystallographic studies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What are the key benefits of the DIC push-pull group slider? A: The 5x/10x/20x DIC push-pull slider allows fast, tool-free switching between DIC positions for each objective, providing instant access to enhanced topographic contrast and pseudo-3D surface relief without realignment—greatly improving workflow efficiency in multi-contrast analysis.

Q: What is the maximum magnification of the GHEXA-13.0211-DIC? A: It achieves up to 400× total magnification with the 40× objective and 10× eyepiece (expandable to 1000× with optional 100× objective if oil immersion is required), suitable for detailed microstructural and surface feature examination.

Q: Does this model support both transmitted and reflected light observation? A: Yes, it is equipped for reflected (epi) illumination as standard with 12V 50W halogen, and includes support for transmitted illumination (condenser and transmitted light source can be added or used if required for thin sections or transparent samples).

Q: Can polarizing microscopy be added to this system? A: Yes, the microscope is fully compatible with optional polarizing accessories (polarizer, analyzer, rotatable stage insert), enabling transmitted or reflected polarized light observation for birefringence, pleochroism, and crystallographic studies.

Q: What is included in the package? A: The package includes the complete trinocular metallurgical microscope, WF10x/22mm eyepieces, quintuple nosepiece, LWD infinity plan coverless LMPlan DIC objectives (5x, 10x, 20x), plan 40x objective, 5x/10x/20x DIC push-pull slider, double-layer mechanical stage, 12V 50W halogen reflected illuminator, power supply, dust cover, and user manual.
