Features and performance

The Leica MZ 7.5 stereomicroscope is a microscope designated for the examination at relatively low magnifications of the macro and mesostructure of metallic or non-metallic samples.

Performances:

Magnification: 6.3X – 50X

Field diameter: 0.6 mm – 105 mm

Working distances: 81mm, 135mm, 97mm, 55mm, 19mm, 27–297mm.

The stereomicroscope works "in tandem" with the DM 6000 M RL (BF) metallographic light microscope type and is served by the same LEICA FlexaCam 3 digital camera and the Leica Application Suite (LAS) image analysis system.

Access

The qualified CCHAPT personnel can perform, upon request, stereomicroscopic structural analyzes, both for UBB employees and for third parties, by prior appointment (by phone or E-mail) at:

The charged rates take into account the material and personnel expenses related to the requested determinations.

Hours of operation

 

From Monday to Friday, between 8:00 and 16:00, excluding holidays

Areas of use

The stereomicroscope is used to analyze the macro- and mesostructure of metallic or non-metallic samples. With its help, macroscopic compactness defects and/or chemical or structural inhomogeneities existing in the surface of the samples can be highlighted. The device can also be used to analyze the macrostructure of superficial layers (including some composite materials), as well as to highlight the macro- and mesostructure of products obtained through 3D technologies.

The stereomicroscope is also used in the metallographic expertise carried out for economic agents in order to establish the cause that led to the failure of machine parts during processing or exploitation or to carry out qualitative industrial analyses.

Involvement of the equipment in teaching activities

The stereomicroscope is used to support:

- laboratory activities carried out with students for the disciplines:

  • Materials Science and Engineering I – Year I, Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, Faculty of Engineering;
  • Composite Materials – Year IV, Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor's Degree, Faculty of Engineering.

- activities for the completion of studies at the undergraduate and master's cycles;

- doctoral research activities.
