BX53M Metallographic Microscope

Product Overview

The BX53M Metallurgical Microscope is a modular upright materials microscope introduced by OLYMPUS (now Evident). It employs a UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system and is primarily used for microstructural observation and defect analysis of opaque specimens such as metals, alloys, coatings, and electronic components. Depending on application requirements, this model can be configured for reflected light, reflected/transmitted light, polarized light, and infrared observation, among other setups. It also features coding functionality that links hardware settings, including observation method, illumination intensity, and objective position, with Olympus Stream image analysis software, automatically saving them with the image for easy result reproduction and report archiving.

Main Technical Specifications

• Optical system: UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system
• Observation methods: brightfield, darkfield, differential interference contrast (DIC), polarized light, MIX combined observation (depending on configuration)
• Illumination source: white LED for both reflected and transmitted light; optional 100W/50W halogen lamp or fiber optic illumination
• Objective nosepiece: six-position, centerable six-position, seven-position, or coded five-position; optional motorized objective nosepiece

• Focusing mechanism: reflected light model travel 30mm, fine adjustment 200μm/rotation; reflected/transmitted light model travel 25mm, fine adjustment 100μm/rotation
• Observation tube: wide field FN22 and ultra-wide field FN26.5; available in binocular, trinocular, tilting, and erect image versions
• Imaging functions: supports MIX combined observation, instant mosaic (MIA), and extended depth of field imaging (EFI)
• Overall weight: approx. 15.8kg (reflected light configuration)

Product Features

• Modular design allows flexible combination of observation methods for materials science and industrial inspection needs, with one main unit covering multiple applications
• Coding functionality integrates microscope hardware settings with Stream software; settings are automatically recorded with the image, reducing human error
• White LED illumination offers long life and stable brightness, suitable for prolonged continuous inspection
• Combined with image analysis software, it enables automatic calibration and standard rating analysis such as grain size and graphite nodularity in cast iron
