Microscope
The Ferrographic Microscope is a specialized bichromatic (red/green) dual-illumination microscope used to analyze wear particles deposited on ferrograms. It distinguishes metallic particles (red in reflected light) from non-metallic debris (green in transmitted light), providing crucial insight into wear modes—cutting, sliding, fatigue, corrosion—and root causes for maintenance and failure analysis.
Bichromatic & Polarizing Illumination
Enables enhanced contrast between particle types using red-reflective and green-transmitted lighting, often with polarizer filters.
Integrated Imaging
Many models feature trinocular heads and digital camera kits for photographing and documenting wear particles.
Versatile Magnification
Common configurations include 50×, 100×, 200×, 500×—with objectives like 5×, 10×, 20×, 50× for fine-detail analysis.
Reflected & Transmitted Light
Illuminators support both lighting methods (LED or halogen), essential for inspecting particle morphology and color.
