VanGuard 1200MM Series Metallurgical Microscopes featuring reflected illumination, as well as long working distance objectives, are perfect for the inspection of integrated circuits, wafers, electronic components, metals, polymers, paint, textiles, and essentially any other opaque sample.

Viewing Head. Trinocular (Seidentopf) heads rotate 360° and are inclined at 30°. Both models feature interpupillary and dioptric adjustment. The heads feature a sliding main prism (100/100 split) to provide either 100% of the image to the vertical tube, or 100% of the image to the eyepieces.
Nosepiece. Quadruple, reversed, ball-bearing nosepiece with high-grade lubricant and positive stops. The nosepiece is reversed (inward facing) to allow for easier manipulation of slides and to aid in keeping the objectives clean.
Stage. Delivering a high level of fluid motion control and longevity, the stage measures 185x140mm. Model 1242MM is fitted with a 77x98mm glass insert. Motion is controlled by a right-hand, low-position coaxial control and is driven by a rack and pinion system.
Focusing Movement. Coaxial, low-position coarse and fine focus controls feature a 40mm focusing range and are graduated to 2 microns per division. Fitted with tension adjustment and safety autostop. Condenser. Model 1242MM comes with a 1.25 N.A.
