Coatings, Plating, and Corrosion Analysis Microscopes

Surface engineering workflows demand reliable imaging and measurement for coatings, plating, and corrosion analysis. Metallurgical microscopes in this category support reflected light inspection, brightfield/darkfield contrast, polarized illumination, and digital metrology to assess layer thickness, uniformity, porosity, and defects. Perform cross-section studies to verify coverage, gauge interface quality, and identify adhesion indicators, pitting, and oxide formation. Capture calibrated images, document results, and align evaluations with common ASTM and ISO methods for production QA, failure investigation, and R&D. At Microscope.com, browse configurations with ergonomic stands, stable optics, camera integration, and software tools for repeatable measurements. Compare specifications to match magnification ranges, objectives, stages, and lighting options to your sample types, throughput needs, and budget.
