Brinell Microscopes

The Leica Brinell microscope, the worldwide leader in optics combines a stable, free standing instrument and a portable unit for reading Brinell hardness testing impressions. Its reverse nosepiece design enables use in remote areas usually inaccessible to brinell microscopes. Designed with precision optics, this Leica brinell microscope provides 20x total magnification. With a 10x wide field and high eyeport eyepiece, it provides comfortable viewing even while wearing glasses. The easy-to-read reticle measures a 0-6 mm range in 0.1mm increments. The microscope’s calibration screw allows for easy calibration to the calibration disc.

This Brinell microscope may be used under normal lighting conditions. Its battery powered light source gives you additional illumination when ambient light is not adequate for a bright, clear image. The light source pivots for compact storage and portability. Rugged construction provides you with the durability that is needed for use in any challenging environment. The microscope may also be used for general shop applications requiring close inspection and precise measurements. The Leica brinell microscope is calibrated on equipment traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and meets all ASTM E-10 specifications.

The King Brinell microscope is made from stainless steel and is one most rugged, versatile and optically reliable brinell microscopes on the market today. The King brinell microscope Features a 20X pre-focused lens, the microscope has a narrow nosepiece requiring only a small foot print and fits easily into tight recesses. Readings on this microscope can even be taken on pulleys and sheaves, in corners and behind shoulders. For added stability when performing flat work, a 1-1/2" diameter sli-on base adapter is included.

When you need the advantage of the narrow nose for reading indentations, just take the base off. The side opening in the king brinell microscope provides plenty of natural light for viewing. Additionally, a battery operated, movable, rugged pen light can be used for optimum lighting in dim conditions. The microscope may also be used for general shop applications requiring close inspection and precise measurements. The King brinell microscope is calibrated on equipment traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and meets all ASTM E-10 specifications.

For fast and accurate Brinell readings, use the SBS Series Microscopes. These reliable instruments feature a micrometer measuring eyepiece that provides simple, accurate Brinell measurements under any normal lighting condition. With a compact design and convenient carrying case, the SBS Series Microscopes are highly mobile and easily stored.

The stage micrometer is used to check and insure that the Brinell Microscope is calibrated. This is accomplished by placing the microscope on the stage micrometer and aligning the grid on the stage micrometer with the grid on the microscope. If the grids align perfectly, the brinell microscope is in calibration and ready to use. If the grids do not align perfectly, this indicates the brinell microscope is out of calibration and should be recalibrated. The brinell stage micrometer is manufactured in accordance to ASTM E-10 specifications with complete traceability to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
