Image of dog hair was captured at 200x magnification using the MT7100 metallurgical microscope, a c-mount adapter and the DK3000 microscope digital camera.
400x Magnification.
A metallurgical microscope, such as the Meiji MT7000 series, allows viewing of objects that will not allow light to pass through them. A metallurgical microscope is used when a stereo microscope will not provide enough magnification (generally when you need to see micron size particles). Metallurgical microscopes look similar to biological microscopes, but a major difference is that the objective lenses allow light to shine down through them, providing plenty of light for a crisp clear image, at a high magnification.
