Mitutoyo Series 176 High-Power Multi-Function Measuring Microscopes - Choice of Model

SERIES 176 - High-Power Multi-Function Measuring Microscopes

• High-magnification eyepiece observation up to 4000X.
• Observation with a clear and flare-free erect image and a wide field of view.
• Measuring accuracy that is the highest in its class (and conforms to JIS B7153).
• Proven high-NA objectives from the FS optical system (long working distance type).
• Illumination unit (reflected/transmitted) selectable from high-intensity LED or halogen bulb types (required).
• Variable aperture diaphragm (reflected/transmitted) allows observation and measurement while suppressing light diffraction.
• Integration of metallurgical and measurement microscope functions provides high-resolution observation and a high-accuracy measurement solution.
• A quick-release mechanism is useful for moving the stage rapidly between measuring points when measuring workpieces that are large in size or quantity.
• The MF-U high-power multi-function measuring microscopes' expandability, such as when used in combination with Mitutoyo's Vision Unit to boost performance or data management on a PC, promises further improved measuring efficiency.

Please note: The turret, objectives and illumination unit in the images are optional accessories.
