MT7000 Series

The MT7000H Series Halogen Binocular Brightfield Metallurgical Microscope is a precision-designed upright system built for high-performance material inspection. Equipped with Meiji Techno’s advanced ICOS™ Infinity Corrected Optical System, it delivers sharp, consistent images ideal for metallography, quality control, and failure analysis. Its ergonomic Siedentopf binocular head, widefield eyepieces, and included Plan Epi objectives (5×, 10×, 20×, 50×) provide comfortable operation and outstanding optical clarity at multiple magnifications. With a durable ceramic-coated stage, smooth X-Y travel, and a robust Japanese-built frame, the MT7000 offers reliability and precision for demanding industrial and academic environments.

Featuring a 6V/30W halogen Koehler illumination system optimized for reflected-light brightfield observation, the MT7000 ensures accurate visualization of metals, polished surfaces, and treated materials. The package includes essential accessories such as filters, eyeshields, dust cover, and warranty card, with optional upgrades like a trinocular head, ergonomic viewing head, and digital imaging attachments. Designed for versatility, stability, and long-term use, the MT7000 Series integrates premium optics, user-friendly controls, and exceptional craftsmanship—making it an excellent choice for metallurgical laboratories seeking dependable and high-quality reflected-light microscopy.

How MT7000H Metallurgical Brightfield Microscopes Are Used in Industry

• Quality Control (QC): Inspect metals and manufactured components for defects, grain size, inclusions, cracks, and surface irregularities.

• Production Line Verification: Ensure materials and parts meet engineering standards before assembly or shipment.

• Failure Analysis: Investigate broken, worn, or malfunctioning parts to determine causes such as fatigue, corrosion, improper heat treatment, or stress points.

• Welding & Machining Assessment: Evaluate weld penetration, heat-affected zones, surface finishing, tool marks, and machining accuracy.

• Coatings & Surface Treatment Inspection: Analyze thickness, uniformity, and adhesion of coatings such as plating, anodizing, powder coating, or thin films.

• R&D and Materials Engineering: Support research teams developing new alloys, composites, and advanced materials.

• Documentation for Compliance: Capture images and reports required for certifications, audits, and customer specifications.

How MT7000H Metallurgical Brightfield Microscopes Are Used in Education

• Materials Science Training: Teach students how to identify grain structures, phases, and microstructural features of metals.

• Hands-on Laboratory Sessions: Allow students to prepare samples, polish surfaces, and observe microstructures directly under reflected light.
