Application fit
This reflected/transmitted-light metallurgical platform is intended for polished metals, materials and opaque-surface inspection. It is more specialized than a biological compound microscope and requires careful sample preparation for meaningful results.
System checks

- Verify whether a camera, coupler and calibration slide are included.
- Allow bench space for the illumination and stage controls.
