Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope MM-4 - ALMICRO
The ALMICRO MM-4 Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope is a next-generation upgrade over the MM-3 binocular model, developed for advanced metallurgical analysis, documentation, and research applications. While MM-3 focuses on binocular visual inspection, MM-4 introduces a trinocular viewing system, enabling simultaneous visual observation and camera attachment for image capture, reporting, and digital analysis.
The MM-4 features an all-new ergonomic design with hard-coated trinocular optics, ensuring superior image clarity and long-term optical durability. Compared to MM-3, it incorporates a double-layered fine focusing system with low-positioned coaxial knobs, offering smoother control and greater precision during high-magnification surface examination.
A special graduated mechanical stage improves sample positioning accuracy over earlier models, while bright 12V, 50W halogen illumination with solid-state power circuitry provides stable, high-contrast reflected light essential for metallurgical specimens. The inclusion of semi-plan achromatic objectives and hard-coated wide-field eyepieces delivers flatter, sharper images across the field of view compared to standard achromatic optics used in MM-3.
Additional green and brown contrast filters further enhance material differentiation, making MM-4 ideal for complex alloy structures and surface defect analysis.
