The Plan correction flattens the field so that edge-to-edge sharpness is improved, reducing the need for refocusing across specimens. Being infinity‑corrected means the lens integrates with modern tube optics and intermediate components without altering the designed focal plane, which simplifies optical system alignment and preserves image quality during assembly of camera adapters or polarisation modules. Contrast options and practical performance benefits The lens supports both brightfield and darkfield observation modes, enabling enhanced visibility of surface defects, inclusions and grain boundaries. The high aperture improves light collection for finer contrast and shallower depth of field, which is beneficial for surface detail at high magnification. The working distance of 0.8 mm allows close approach to the sample for highest resolution—suitable for prepared metallographic mounts and polished sections. These technical attributes translate into fewer retakes and faster inspection cycles in routine quality control. Integration, handling and longevity for workshop use Constructed for laboratory and production environments, the objective combines optical precision with robust handling. The absence of cover-glass correction (no cover-glass correction) signals that the lens is optimised for unmounted or directly prepared specimens rather than laminated covers—this reduces refractive mismatch for polished material samples. Regular cleaning with lint-free wipes and approved optical solvents preserves performance; mechanical mounting to the bScope turret follows standard microscope handling practices to ensure repeatable results across shifts.

Order the polarising ring light directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our advisers for application guidance. Polarising Ring Light LE.1975 — Polarised ring illuminator with 16 high‑power LEDs (Euromex) The Polarising Ring Light LE.1975 is a polarised illumination unit designed for stereomicroscopes and stereo heads, delivering controlled, reflection‑free light for quality inspection and microscopy applications. Polarising ring for glare reduction 16 high‑power white LEDs Adjustable brightness for precise control 44,000 Lux at 100 mm distance Reflection‑free lighting that improves defect detection A polarising filter integrated into the ring light reduces surface reflections and specular highlights, which improves perceived contrast on shiny or textured samples. For visual inspection and documentation, this means fewer false positives and faster identification of faults. The polarised design is particularly beneficial when working with metallic parts or glossy substrates under a stereomicroscope, as it reveals surface detail that standard illumination can mask. By converting unwanted glare into usable contrast, the lighting system supports consistent inspection routines and reduces the need for repeated re‑orientations of the workpiece. High luminous performance with controllable colour rendering The illuminator uses 16 LEDs matched to a daylight‑balanced spectrum of 6,000–6,500 K, which provides neutral colour rendition for accurate visual assessment and imaging. At a working distance of 100 mm the output reaches 44,000 Lux, offering sufficient intensity for both coarse and fine inspection tasks. The adjustable brightness control enables fine tuning: lower levels for glare‑sensitive materials, higher levels for deep relief or penetration of microtextures. Lux indicates illuminance at the sample surface, while the colour temperature describes the perceived light tone; together they determine how materials and markings appear under observation. Universal fit and dependable power for workshop and laboratory use The ring is sized to mount on stereo heads with diameters Ø35–62 mm, giving compatibility with a broad range of stereomicroscopes and inspection rigs. The supplied power arrangement covers 100–240 V AC / 12 V DC, 2 A, 24 W, 50/60 Hz, enabling operation across international mains supplies without separate transformers. The compact ring form factor keeps the optical axis free and allows close, even illumination without obstructing manipulation tools. Built for continuous use during inspection cycles, the unit provides stable light output that supports reproducible results and integrates cleanly into existing workstations.

Consistent parfocality helps maintain alignment across objective turrets and speeds up multicriteria inspection routines. Practical explanation of key specifications for decision making Numerical aperture (NA) denotes the light‑gathering ability; a 0.90 NA allows finer resolution but requires careful illumination. The plan apochromatic correction corrects spherical and chromatic aberrations across multiple wavelengths, yielding sharper, colour‑accurate images across the field. The specified working distance and omission of cover glass correction are deliberate choices for particular sample preparations; verify compatibility with the intended sample mounting and illumination method before integration.

100x Plan Semiapochromatic PLM 0.80 NA Long Working Distance 2.1mm No Cover Glass Correction - Euromex
Precision imaging benefits from the combination of 100x magnification, a 0.80 numerical aperture and a 2.1 mm long working distance, delivering sharp polarised-light results even on thicker specimens; order it via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application-specific advice. Plan semi-apochromatic PLM 100x/0.80 LWD IOS Objective (OX.8200) — Euromex Objective / Lens A Plan semi-apochromatic PLM 100x/0.80 LWD IOS Objective designed for high-resolution polarised-light examinations where a long working distance is required 100x magnification for fine detail 0.80 numerical aperture for resolution Long working distance 2.1 mm No cover-glass correction — direct sample use Achieve higher contrast and resolution in polarised-light work The plan semi-apochromatic design improves field flatness and reduces lateral chromatic aberration, so images remain sharp from centre to edge. With 100x magnification combined with a 0.80 numerical aperture, the optic delivers enhanced resolving power and better light-gathering capacity than lower-NA high-power objectives. This translates into clearer structural detail under polarised light, enabling more reliable identification of fine features in minerals, fibres and thin sections without excessive post-processing. Work safely with thicker or uneven specimens thanks to the long working distance A long working distance (2.1 mm) permits comfortable sample manipulation and observation of specimens that cannot be mounted beneath a thin cover slip. The extended clearance reduces the risk of contact between objective and sample, which is especially useful when examining brittle, irregular or prepared mounts. By maintaining a practical separation, the objective supports repeatable measurements and reduces downtime caused by accidental contact during positioning. Understand the implications of no cover-glass correction This objective is specified without cover-glass correction, which makes it well suited to direct inspection of unmounted or surface-prepared samples. The absence of cover-glass correction means optical performance is optimised when no standard #0 or #1.5 cover slip is present; for workflows that rely on conventional cover-glass thickness for refractive-index matching, an alternative corrected objective should be considered. The design choice favours laboratory and industrial polarisation tasks where samples are intentionally left uncovered or are thicker than routine slides. Compatibility and handling for polarised-light microscopy setups Marked IOS, the objective is compatible with infinity-corrected optical systems and integrates with polarised-light microscope stands intended for laboratory and industrial analysis. The combination of PLM suitability and a plan-corrected field makes it appropriate for applications in geology, materials science and forensic inspection.

The Plan semi-apochromatic PLM 100x/0.80 LWD IOS Objective is tailored to polarised-light examinations in geology, materials analysis and quality control where high magnification and field flatness are required without a cover slip. How does the 0.80 numerical aperture affect image quality? A 0.80 numerical aperture increases resolving power and light collection compared with lower-NA objectives, improving contrast and detail visibility under PLM conditions with the Euromex objective. Can this objective be used with standard cover slips? This particular Euromex objective is supplied without cover-glass correction, so optical performance is optimised for uncovered or thicker specimens rather than standard cover-slip preparations. What does LWD 2.1 mm mean for daily use? A working distance of 2.1 mm provides safer clearance between objective and sample, allowing easier manipulation of specimens and reducing the likelihood of collision during positioning. Is the objective compatible with infinity-corrected microscopes? Yes; marked IOS, the objective is intended for use with infinity-corrected optical systems commonly found in modern polarised-light microscope stands.

See microstructure clearly for decisive quality control
A metallographic microscope (also referred to as a metallurgical microscope or inspection microscope) is an indispensable optical precision instrument in metallography. It renders the microstructure of metals and alloys visible at high magnification and forms the essential link between physical sample preparation and materials‑science assessment.
How the system works in the lab
Metals are opaque to transmitted light, so inspection is performed using reflected‑light techniques. The setup comprises an illumination system that directs light through a beam splitter onto the prepared surface, a high‑quality objective that provides the primary magnification and resolution, and a tube with an eyepiece for visual inspection. Image quality is governed primarily by the objective’s numerical aperture, which determines the resolving power for fine structural details. Integration with a digital camera and specialised evaluation software enables accurate imaging, documentation and norm‑compliant measurement of grain size, phase fractions and microdefects.
Practical benefits for production and quality assurance
In industrial quality control the microscope provides measurable outcomes that reduce risk and save time:
- improved detection of inclusions, pores and micro‑cracks, lowering the chance of in‑service failure
- reproducible grain‑size and phase analysis (ferrite, pearlite, martensite) through calibrated imaging and software tools
- faster throughput in inspection routines, reducing sample turnaround and non‑productive downtime
- enhanced traceability by saving images and measurement reports to support audits and batch acceptance

FAQ
Which inspection tasks are best suited to a metallographic microscope?
A metallographic microscope is ideal for analysing grain size, identifying microstructural phases such as ferrite, pearlite and martensite, and detecting microscopic defects like inclusions, pores or cracks that may affect mechanical integrity.
How does numerical aperture affect image quality?
The objective’s numerical aperture directly influences resolution and contrast; higher numerical aperture allows the microscope to resolve finer features in the sample microstructure, which is critical for accurate phase identification and defect sizing.
Can I connect a camera and perform automated measurements?
Yes. Modern metallographic microscopes can be paired with a digital camera and evaluation software to capture images, perform calibrated measurements and generate reproducible, norm‑compliant reports for documentation.
What should I consider when choosing objectives for metallurgical work?
Select objectives with appropriate magnification and high numerical aperture, compatible with reflected‑light illumination and the intended measurement standards; quality optics minimise artefacts and improve repeatability of results.
