Inverted Metallurgical Microscope Working Principle

Inverted Metallurgical Microscope Working Principle

What is the inverted metallurgical microscope?

An inverted metallurgical microscope is a type of microscope specifically designed for the examination of metal specimens and other materials. It observe samples from underneath, enabling the user to inspect thick or heavy samples without adjusting the orientation of the sample surface.

What's the working principle of the inverted metallurgical microscope? 

Inverted microscopes utilise an oblique light path leading to the eyepiece, allowing for observation in the same posture as a conventional microscope. Because of the longer optical path, inverted microscopes use an optical system that relays the primary image from the objective lens to the eyepiece.
