The NG-1000 – Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness tester have a 10x Magnification Eyepiece.

Analogue Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness tester measurements are made through the eyepiece. The operator must first rotate the dial on the microscope to align the micrometres with the diagonals of the indentation. Once aligned, the user must manually read the lengths of the diagonals on the ruler visible through the eyepiece. You then enter the diagonal lengths into the tester through the numbered keypad, and the tester will automatically convert the diagonal lengths to your hardness value and display it on the LCD screen.

Digital Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness tester measurements are made through the eyepiece. This system is equipped with an encoder. After using the micrometres to measure the diagonals, the system will transmit your readings from the eyepiece into the system through a single click of a button. The system will generate your hardness reading and display it on the LCD.

CCD Micro Vickers and Knoop Hardness tester measurements are performed through a CCD Camera combined with Analytical Software. The measurements can be made through the eyepiece, or they can be done through the analysis software and CCD camera. The advanced accuracy of this Vickers hardness testing system, the Motorized Turret and the Built-in-Printer make this machine the top pick for quality control laboratories. To obtain a personalized quote, click here.
