Motic BA310 MET trinocular microscope

BA310MET series, an affordable and powerful metallurgical microscope line of robust Incident light microscopes. Industrial quality control can be performed for all opaque materials like minerals and metal samples with ease and efficiency. Also, the BA310MET performs well in Educational environments of engineering and material professions, where affordability and ease-of-use are key demands.

Daily industrial work environments need a reliable microscope which focuses on ease-of-use as well as on work efficiency. Motic has paid careful attention to these market requirements in order to optimize the BA310MET’s features. The Epi-Illuminator with a 12V/50W Halogen illumination offers a powerful and adjustable light source ideal for all reflective samples. For increased illumination options, an easy replacement of the Halogen bulb is possible by an LED module of different color temperatures (4500K, 6000K). A built-in field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm help to optimize image quality by reducing stray light and increasing contrast. Also Motic's new Long-Working Distance LM Plan objectives for Incident light provide optimal image contrast through a multi-layer lens coating. Together with a fully corrected tube lens an intermediate image without color fringes is created, accessible through the Trinocular port and making digital images as clean and crisp as those seen through the eyepieces. The BA310MET design also includes a standardized ISO photo exit. Depending on the chosen model, a hard coated and chemical resistant stage with a minimum of 75x50mm travel range is offered. Depending on the application, larger stages with extended travel are available, as well as stage options for Transmitted light usage. For maximum sized samples, the BA310MET-H model is recommended.

Objektives

For best optical performance of the BA310MET series, Motic introduces a new generation of Metallurgical LM Plan objectives. These Plan Achromatic objectives are made of high quality glass and follow the successful Motic CCIS® Optical concept. Multi-layer coating ensures improved contrast and image uality. The tube lens provides a completely corrected intermediate image, accessible by the photo port exit of the Trinocular head options. Documentation therefore is based on maximum image quality. The ball bearing 5-fold nosepiece shows a reversed orientation of the lenses and ensures parcentration and repeatability with every magnification change. For advanced resolution requests, two special EC-M Plan objectives are available.

Illumination

The Epi-Illuminator of the BA310MET models is based on a 12V/50W Halogen light source. The unit’s power supply is separated from the stand to avoid unnecessary heat surrounding the microscope. Like in other Motic models, the Halogen bulb can be replaced by an LED module (4500K or 6000K), simply plugged into the Halogen lamp socket.
