GHEXA-13.2604-B Metallurgical Microscope (Reflected & Transmitted Light)

The GHEXA-13.2604-B is a versatile trinocular metallurgical microscope designed for both reflected and transmitted light observation, combining Brightfield capability with optional polarizing analysis for comprehensive materials characterization. It features a trinocular head with one standard WF10x/22mm eyepiece and one WF10x/22mm eyepiece with reticle (for measurement), a quintuple nosepiece equipped with long working distance infinity plan semi-apochromat objectives (5x, 10x, 20x, 50x) delivering flat, high-contrast, color-corrected images, a large mechanical stage (182×140mm) for precise positioning of samples, dual 5W LED illumination systems (reflected and transmitted) for bright, cool, and uniform lighting, and an included polarizing set for reflected light applications. This model offers excellent optical performance, ergonomic design, and dual-illumination flexibility—making it ideal for metallography, thin-section petrography, semiconductor inspection, coatings analysis, and materials quality control in industrial, pharmaceutical, biotech, university, and research laboratories.

Key Applications & Uses

• Metallographic & Alloy Microstructure Analysis: Examines grain boundaries, phase distribution, inclusions, heat-affected zones, and weld microstructures in metals and alloys using reflected light BF and polarizing for enhanced contrast.
• Thin-Section Petrography & Mineralogy: Utilizes transmitted light for observation of rock thin sections, minerals, ores, and geological samples, with polarizing set enabling birefringence, pleochroism, and interference color studies.
• Semiconductor & Electronics Inspection: Supports surface and cross-sectional analysis of wafers, thin films, solder joints, and microelectronic components with high-resolution semi-apo objectives and dual illumination.
• Coatings, Films & Surface Treatments: Assesses coating thickness, uniformity, adhesion, defects, and wear patterns in plated, anodized, PVD/CVD, and painted surfaces under reflected light with polarizing enhancement.
• Quality Control & Failure Analysis: Ideal for routine QC in manufacturing, pharma equipment components, medical device materials, and failure investigations of fractured or corroded parts requiring both opaque and transparent sample compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the benefit of semi-apochromat objectives in this metallurgical microscope? A: Semi-apo (semi-apochromat) objectives provide improved chromatic correction and higher contrast compared to standard achromats, delivering sharper, more color-accurate images—essential for precise metallographic interpretation, thin-section analysis, and publication-quality documentation.

Q: What is the maximum magnification of the GHEXA-13.2604-B? A: It achieves up to 500× total magnification with the 50× objective and 10× eyepiece (expandable to 1000× with optional 100× objective if required), suitable for detailed microstructural features, thin films, and surface defects.

Q: How does the polarizing set enhance reflected light observation? A: The included polarizing set (polarizer and analyzer) reveals stress birefringence, anisotropic structures, grain orientation, and crystallographic information in metals, coatings, and minerals—greatly improving visibility of otherwise subtle features in reflected mode.

Q: Can this microscope handle both opaque and transparent samples? A: Yes, dual reflected and transmitted 5W LED illumination allows seamless switching between opaque samples (metals, semiconductors, coatings) in reflected mode and transparent/thin-section samples (rock thin sections, minerals) in transmitted mode.

Q: What is included in the package? A: The package includes the complete trinocular metallurgical microscope, WF10x/22mm standard eyepiece, WF10x/22mm reticle eyepiece, quintuple nosepiece, LWD infinity plan semi-apo objectives (5x, 10x, 20x, 50x), mechanical stage, reflected and transmitted 5W LED illuminators, polarizing set, safety low-voltage power adapter, dust cover, and user manual. Digital cameras, additional objectives, immersion oil (for optional high-power use), and other accessories are available separately on ghexa.com.
