The inverted metallurgical microscope is another modification to the wide range of designs of the metallurgical microscope the only difference is that, the specimen is mounted above the eyepiece, thus the term inverted. The sample is then observed from below, where the image is transmitted to the oculars that is positioned beneath the mounting stage.
Aside from having the same qualities as that of the metallurgical microscope, it is endowed with the new x-y stage, which can accommodate much larger metal samples and pieces for inspection. The new x-y stage is sturdier and can hold much weighty sample. This kind of microscope has a lot of applications aside from metallurgical studies. It can be used in factories for quality control procedures of the production of metal parts, usually in cars and other automobiles, making it an all around kind of microscope.
