AUC-600B-I Series Inverted Metallurgical Brighfield / Halogen Microscope with Choice of Stage
To view the PDF Click Here
The AUC-600B Series is a professional infinity-corrected inverted metallurgical microscope for examining metals, alloys and a wide range of opaque and transparent materials.
Its inverted configuration allows large, heavy and irregularly shaped specimens to be placed directly onto the stage, making it particularly suitable for samples that are difficult to position beneath the objectives of a conventional upright microscope.
The microscope features a trinocular viewing head and includes a 0.45× C-mount adapter for connecting a compatible microscope camera. This allows images to be captured for documentation, measurement and analysis. The microscope camera is available separately.
Choose the AUC-600B-I with its large plain stage or the AUC-600B-ID with a double-layer X-Y mechanical stage for controlled specimen positioning.

Stage configurations
AUC-600B-I – Plain Stage
Supplied with a large 160 × 250 mm plain stage with slide clips.
This configuration provides a spacious working surface for large, heavy or irregularly shaped specimens where controlled X-Y movement is not required.
AUC-600B-ID – Double-Layer X-Y Mechanical Stage
Supplied with a 226 × 178 mm double-layer mechanical stage.
The stage provides 50 × 50 mm controlled X-Y movement for accurate specimen positioning and repeatable examination.

The AUC-600B Series is suitable for examining:
- Metals and alloys
- Metallographic specimens
- Ceramics and other non-metallic materials
- Integrated circuits and electronic chips
- Printed circuit boards
- LCD panels and films
- Surface coatings and plated components
- Powders and toner particles
- Wires and fibres
- Opaque and transparent materials
- Industrial components
- Material structures and surface conditions
