Euromex Achios-X Inverso Advanced Metallurgical Microscope

10 Years Warranty

The Euromex Achios-X Inverso is a high-performance inverted microscope designed for demanding materials science and industrial inspection applications. It supports brightfield, darkfield and polarised-light observation, making it suitable for examining metals, polymers and other opaque materials.

Long-working-distance infinity-corrected plan and plan apochromatic objectives provide high-resolution images without cover-glass correction. The ergonomic tilting head, low-positioned controls and motorised illumination diaphragms support comfortable and efficient operation during extended periods of use.

Smart Light Control

The Smart Light Control system automatically stores the following settings for each objective:

• Illumination intensity
• Field-diaphragm position
• Aperture-diaphragm position
• Colour temperature

When the objective is changed, the stored settings are recalled automatically. The system also incorporates a sleep function to reduce unnecessary energy use.

• Suitable for basic polarised-light examination of anisotropic materials

Optional differential interference contrast

Differential interference contrast is available as an optional configuration for enhancing surface relief and subtle variations in suitable specimens.

Please contact Auckland Scientific to confirm the required DIC configuration before ordering.
