Material Matters

Spectrographic are resellers of refurbished hardness testers, as well as selling other used and new materials testing equipment. Recently, we have sold a Used Leitz Micro Hardness Tester and Iworks Ex metallurgical software to University College Dublin. The whole system was fully checked by our service engineers, and then the Software for Microscopy and MSDX501 camera was added by Liam our Microscope specialist. The software system can do the basic capture and measure of the Leitz Micro Hardness Tester that can measure metallurgy samples at a magnification of up to x400. At the moment we have another Leitz HV tester in stock, so if you would like to know more information about this full software system please contact spectrographic on: Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk

Spectrographic's range of Microscopy Imaging Camera available for immediate dispatch.  We also have a range of software to accompany the Microscope camera for all areas of science. Spectrographic is an active member of the Royal Microscope Society.   5.0 Megapixel CMOS Microscope Camera MDX501   Camera Series MDX501 is a 5 megapixel microscope camera equipped with high quality Aptina CMOS MT9P006 and a 32Mb buffer memory. It provides higher frame rate and more stable running. The robust multi-camera synchronization function makes it easy to work with 3 more MX cameras together. This is very helpful to more applicable options for different kinds of microscopy applications. It is a good choice for applications which require high frame rate and high image quality. Monochrome camera MDX501M is available.   Features   High imaging quality and low noise 1/2.5 inch 5 megapixel colour CMOS sensor Plug and play USB 2.0 interface, easy to install Built...

A recent meeting with Dr Lewis and gave Spectrographic the opportunity to look at some very interesting subjects on our Stereo microscope.   The Moth geni talia samples did offer some challenges but these were overcome in our customer service laboratory equipped with a wide range of microscopes and computer based imaging systems. Have a look at the work done by Dr Lewis on his website and more information on the article on our news section. This provides some interesting information regarding the Huvitz microscopes , that they are useful for other science applications. Do you require any more information, then please do contact the Spectrographic Team. Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk

Paul Chippendale, Managing Director, and Dr Manfred Tietze headed up the day with delegates from around the UK. It was great to have a guest supplier in from NewSonic who demonstrated the Sonodur 2 UCI portable hardness tester with some great feedback too. Liam, our metallurgical microscope expert showed off the HDS5800 3D Digital microscope to a number of our guests. We also have some metallurgical equipment at the AMRC which was demonstrated on Wednesday 17th February 2016. Due to the success of the day, the next Demonstration Day will be in April 2016. Here are a selection of Photographs from the day. Read more..... Contact us at sales@spectrographic.co.uk Telephone: 01274 966173 Website:- www.spectrographic.co.uk

Watch our engineer fit a measuring reticule in a microscope eyepiece. The reticules are used to add measurement facility or comparison capability to a variety of microscopes. Reticules are clear discs marked with a exact pattern or scale. These reticles are available as crossline, micrometer scales, or grids. Stage micrometers are also available for calibrating microscope reticules or objective lens magnification. The reticule is sized for the microscope, but watch the video to see how it should be installed – but don't scratch it!!
