Metallurgical microscope

Japanese: 金属顕微鏡 - きんぞくけんびきょう(英語表記)metallurgical microscope
Metallurgical microscope

A microscope used to observe the structure of opaque materials such as metals, alloys, and ceramics, also known as a reflective microscope. In the case of a normal optical microscope (called a biological microscope or transmission microscope) used to observe plant or animal cells, light is applied to the back of the sample, and the transmitted light is magnified by the objective lens and eyepiece. In contrast, a metallurgical microscope incorporates a glass plate or a right-angle prism between the objective lens and eyepiece, and light is applied to the front of the sample, and the reflected light is magnified by the objective lens and eyepiece. The magnification is limited to about 1000 times, and for magnifications greater than this, an electron microscope is used.

Japanese:

金属、合金、セラミックスなどのように不透明な物質の構造を観察するための顕微鏡で、反射型顕微鏡ともいう。植物や動物の細胞などを観察する通常の光学顕微鏡(生物顕微鏡または透過型顕微鏡という)の場合には試料の裏側から光を当て、透過してきた光を対物レンズと接眼レンズとによって拡大する。これに対して金属顕微鏡では、対物レンズと接眼レンズとの間にガラス板または直角プリズムを組み込んで試料の前面から光を当て、反射してきた光を対物レンズと接眼レンズとによって拡大する。倍率は約1000倍が限度であり、これ以上の拡大には電子顕微鏡が使用される。
