Motic BA310 MET-H binocular microscope (45007)

The BA310MET series is a versatile and affordable line of metallurgical microscopes designed for incident light applications. These microscopes are ideal for industrial quality control of opaque materials such as minerals and metal samples, providing reliable performance and ease of use. The BA310MET is also well-suited for educational environments in engineering and materials science, where cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness are essential.

To meet the demands of daily industrial work, the BA310MET features an Epi-Illuminator with a powerful 12V/50W halogen light source, which can be easily replaced with an LED module in different color temperatures (4500K or 6000K). The built-in field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm enhance image quality by reducing stray light and increasing contrast. Motic’s Long-Working Distance LM Plan objectives, with multi-layer coatings, deliver excellent contrast and clarity. The fully corrected tube lens ensures intermediate images are free of color fringes, and the trinocular port allows for high-quality digital imaging. The design also includes a standardized ISO photo exit. Depending on the model, stages with various sizes and travel ranges are available, including options for transmitted light and handling larger samples.

Objectives
The BA310MET series uses a new generation of LM Plan Achromatic objectives made from high-quality glass, following the CCIS® Optical concept. Multi-layer coatings improve contrast and image quality. The reversed, ball-bearing 5-position nosepiece ensures precise alignment and repeatability. For advanced resolution, EC-M Plan objectives are also available.

Illumination
The Epi-Illuminator is based on a 12V/50W halogen lamp with an external power supply, minimizing heat near the microscope. The halogen bulb can be swapped for a 3W LED module (4500K or 6000K) for extended lifespan and different lighting options. The BA310MET-T model also features built-in 6V/30W halogen Koehler illumination for transmitted light, which can also be upgraded to LED.
