Metzer · Inverted Metallurgical Microscopes
Metzer inverted metallurgical microscopes place the objectives beneath the stage, with the prepared specimen face pointing downwards. This arrangement supports examination of mounted samples and metallic sections without positioning an objective above the sample. Choose the optical configuration for the features you need to observe, then add compatible imaging and analysis tools for documentation.
Typical applications include prepared metal and alloy sections, cast iron examination and comparative microstructure studies. Surface preparation, illumination and the selected objectives determine which features can be resolved.

Answers to common questions about inverted metallurgical microscopes.
How does an inverted microscope differ from an upright microscope?
An inverted microscope views the prepared face from below; an upright microscope views it from above. The choice depends on specimen handling, stage support and the optical access needed for the examination.
Does the specimen need polishing?
Microstructure examination generally requires a prepared surface. Cutting, mounting where needed, polishing and any appropriate etching should follow the material and examination method.
Can images be measured using software?
Yes, with compatible imaging and analysis software. Dimensional measurements require calibration for the optical and camera configuration used.
Which details help select a model?
Share the specimen dimensions and weight, prepared face size, required contrast methods and example images or reports. These define the stage, optics and imaging requirements.
