Microscopes that are included with hardware and software systems to analyze the quality of metals and alloys shall meet the following basic requirements:
- type of device: inverted metallographic;
- adjustment of illumination using the method of Kohler;
- realized methods of contrast: light background (reflected light), other methods of contrast depending on user’s tasks: dark background, polarization, DIK (reflected light);
- motorized table for speeding the procedure of analyzing more fields of vision;
- trinocular tube with C-mount adapter for installation of digital camera.
