Description
The Sinowon IMS-370 Series Inverted Metallurgical Microscopes are designed for the inspection and analysis of large, heavy or difficult-to-handle samples. The inverted configuration allows specimens to be placed directly onto the stage, making the system ideal for metallography, failure analysis, quality control and research applications.
The IMS-370 Series provides high-quality infinity-corrected optics, long working distance objectives and excellent image clarity for observing metallic structures, coatings, surface defects and material characteristics. The inverted design is particularly beneficial when inspecting large machined parts, castings, welded components, automotive parts and aerospace materials that cannot easily be mounted on a conventional upright microscope.
Available in both bright field and bright & dark field configurations, the IMS-370 Series offers a flexible solution for laboratories, manufacturers and research facilities requiring professional metallurgical analysis.
