Nikon Eclipse
The Metallography Lab has a Nikon Eclipse (pictured at left) upright microscope that is capable of magnifications of 50X, 100X, 200X and 500X. The system is equiped with a Nikon DXM1200 digtital capture camera for image acquisition. The software automaticaly adds the micron bar on the image and it is also capable of time lapse photography.

Nikon SMZ-10
The Nikon SMZ-10 (pictured at left) is a stereo microscope used to image specimen that are irregular or require a lower magnification ( 2X - 40X). A Sony DCR-PC101 miniDV camera is attached to the microscope for taking still images and recording digital videos. The lighting can be from the anular fiber optic ring or oblique from external sources. Substage lighting can also be obtained by using a fiberoptic backlight.
