What is a metallurgical microscope?

A metallurgical microscope is a microscope that uses incident illumination (also known as reflection light to observe the metallurgical structure of the surface of a metal specimen and perform microscopic analysis. Metalurgical microscopic analysis is widely involved in the material microstructure, internal component, state and qualitative and quantitative analysis, including the quantitative and spatial distribution of the phase and tissue structure, composition, crystallization and sub-crystallization-metallic inclusions, and tissue defects of the materials etc.

Metallurgical microscope is one of the important components of industrial microscope. in addition to observing metal surface, metallurgical microscope plays an important role in metal heat translucent objects, including fibers, soils, minerals, crystals, ceramics, treatment and cold processing. lt is no longer limited to metal research, as it is also widely applied to surface treatments, integrated circuits, LCD screens, and other industries, Modern Metallurgical microscope not only have good optical systems, but also combine optical microscope, photoelectric conversion technology, and computer image processing technology to easily observe metallurgical images and analyze and rate metallurgical maps.
