Category Specification Requirement
Generic Description/Application of Product Metallurgical Microscopes are used to identify defects in metal surfaces, to determine the crystal grain boundaries in metal alloys, and to study polished section of rocks and minerals. This type of microscope employs incident illumination, in which the light source is inserted into the microscope tube below the objective lens by means of a beam splitter. Light shines down through the objective and is focused through the objective onto the specimen. The light reflected or scattered back to the objective is then imaged back at the eyepiece. In this manner, opaque objects such as metals can be examined under the microscope
