Polarisation Metallographic Microscope, 146MET

The Zuzi model 146 metallographic microscope is a laboratory instrument designed for advanced material analysis using polarized light techniques, allowing detailed observation of anisotropic structures such as crystals, minerals, pigments, and biological deposits. Its infinite correction optical system provides high-resolution images, high contrast, and great uniformity in the visual field, making it an effective solution for applications in metallography, petrography, mineralogy, histology, and pathology.

The equipment incorporates an orthogonal polarization system composed of a polarizer and an analyzer arranged on perpendicular axes, which allows generating light extinction conditions and highlighting the birefringent properties of the samples. This configuration facilitates the precise identification of internal structures and optical characteristics of complex materials.

The trinocular head, inclined and adjustable, allows for direct observation and the integration of image capture systems via camera, favoring documentation and digital analysis. It has wide-field eyepieces with diopter adjustment and interpupillary regulation, ensuring comfort during prolonged work sessions.

The objective system mounted on a multi-position nosepiece allows for quick magnification change, while the coaxial coarse and fine focusing provides precise control of the focal plane. The high-precision rotating stage allows for complete rotation with fine graduation, facilitating the angular analysis of samples.

The illumination system combines reflected and transmitted light techniques, incorporating halogen lamps with intensity regulation and Köhler configuration, which ensures homogeneous and aberration-free illumination. The Abbe condenser with adjustable diaphragm and filter holder allows for optimizing contrast and definition under different observation conditions.

The equipment also integrates advanced components such as a Bertrand lens for conoscopic observation and compartments for compensator plates, expanding its analytical capabilities in polarimetric studies. Its robust and stable structure guarantees reliability during continued use in demanding environments.

This microscope constitutes a complete and versatile platform for laboratories requiring precision, advanced analytical capacity, and adaptability in the study of complex materials and structures.
