The Meiji MT8500 series metallurgical microscopes include the following:
- Objective Lenses: DIN Infinity Corrected Optical System (ICOS) Plan Epi BD 5x, 10x, 20x and 50x mounted in a smooth-operating, ball bearing mounted, quintuple nosepiece.
- Viewing Head (select when ordering): Siedentopf-type binocular head or trinocular head for camera integration. Each head has the eyetubes inclined at 30° with the left eyetube having graduated diopter settings. The interpupillary distance is adjustable between 53mm - 75mm. An 80/20 beamsplitter for the trinocular tube can be engaged for photo work. (100% to eyetubes or 80% to phototube & 20% to the eyetube.) 30mm ID eyetube.
- Eyepieces:
SWH10x Widefield High Eyepoint eyepieces F.N. 22 are standard with a 25mm reticle mount.
- Total Magnification: 50x, 100x, 200x and 500x.
- Specimen Stage: Ceramic-coated flat-top stage 191mm x 126mm, with 100mm x 100mm of travel. Equipped with precision ball bearing guides and low position drop down coaxial controls for X-Y movement.
- Illumination (select when ordering):
