Inverted Metallograph Epiphot-300/200
The
versatile Epiphot 300 Inverted Metallurgical Microscope: the rock solid
answer to your research needs. A model of technological integration, Nikon's
Epiphot 300 combines the superb CF Infinity Corrected Optical System with
a matchless degree of operator comfort and rock solid stability. Add to
this a full range of photomicrographic capabilities, as well as scale imprinting,
and you have a cutting edge instrument providing the highest possible optical
performance.
An ideal optical system which combines Nikon's renowned CD Optics with Infinity Corrected design for even greater system flexibility. The result is sharp and clear images you can depend on.
Changes in magnification are simultaneously applied to both observation and photomicrography. The zoom dial click-stops at 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 x magnifications, allowing you to change magnifications without removing your eye from the sample.
The built in photomicrographic system permits photomicrography in both the 35mm and 4 x 5 in. large film formats. 60% integrated average auto exposure photomicrography is possible.
Because the reticle is inserted at the primary image plane position, the micrometer maintains fine focus without being affected by the state of the specimen surface being observed. Austenite reticles and grids can also be imprinted.
Comfort and ease of operation were prime design considerations. The lowered stage (71mm/2.8 in lower than the previous model.) and the universal-joint stage handle which allows the stage to be moved by hand at a fixed position both contribute to smooth operation. The built in interlocking aperture diaphragm which automatically adjusts during brightfield/darkfield changeover, and ergonomically located major controls within easy reach also combine to create a comfortable operating environment.
Front and rear support of the stage, a low profile design, and a nosepiece focusing system, all make for a super stable extremely rugged instrument.
