Portable microscope inspects curved
surfaces
If you have a need to inspect curved surfaces of a relatively large diameter under high magnification, how can you achieve this?
If you have a need to inspect curved surfaces of a relatively large diameter under high magnification, how can you achieve this? Traditional metallurgical microscopes are designed to work with small, flat polished samples Stereo microscopes on long arm stands may not offer the resolution or magnification that you require
Prior Scientific has developed a microscope specifically for this purpose: Episcan.
Originally designed to allow detailed examinations of print rollers at up to 600x magnification the instrument can easily be used to look at pipe welds and joints, lichen on a tree trunk and in fact any curved surface.
Uniquely it has cylindrical "feet" which enable it to be positioned in a stable manner on most curved surfaces.
With the choice of viewing through an eyepiece or through a video/digital camera the possibilities are limitless. Request a free brochure from Prior Scientific ...
