Brinell Microscope MM-6 - ALMICRO
The ALMICRO MM-6 Brinell Microscope is a dedicated hardness measurement microscope, specifically designed for accurate evaluation of Brinell hardness indentations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Unlike the MM-5 and MM-5A metallurgical microscopes, which are intended for microstructural observation and research, the MM-6 is optimized exclusively for precision dimensional measurement of indentation diameters.
Equipped with a calibrated reticle in a flat-field optical system, MM-6 enables direct, repeatable measurement of Brinell impressions without image distortion. The 25× fixed magnification and 0.1 mm calibrated scale ensure consistent readings, making it ideal for shop-floor inspection, quality control labs, and material testing facilities.
Its compact, rugged construction and changeable LED illumination allow reliable operation in both laboratory and industrial environments, where quick and accurate hardness verification is required.
How MM-6 differs from MM-5 / MM-5A
MM-6: Dedicated to Brinell hardness measurement only
MM-5 / MM-5A: Designed for surface inspection, metallography & research
Built-in calibrated reticle for direct measurement (not imaging-based)
Portable & compact for production and QC use
No sample preparation or camera system required
Key Highlights
Fixed 25× magnification optimized for Brinell testing
6.0 mm calibrated reticle scale with 0.1 mm divisions
Flat-field optics for accurate edge definition
7.0 mm field diameter for clear indentation visibility
Changeable LED illumination for consistent contrast
Compact, durable design for shop & laboratory use
Ideal for:
Brinell hardness testing labs, metallurgical quality control, foundries, heat treatment plants, inspection departments, and educational material testing facilities.
