To accurately perform a metallographic analysis of a sample, the preparation is critical. The microstructure and hardness of your sample has to be unveiled, and you have to be able to trust that what you're seeing is what is actually there and not just something inadvertently created in the preparation stages. When it comes to metallographic preparation, you really can't skip a step.

LECO's newest microscope, the VX4, fits in neatly with our entire metallographic lineup. For a lab that needs a compact and practical microscopy solution, the VX4 is an easy-to-use inverted microscope that gives excellent image quality.
