The G-800E is an inverted metallurgical microscope, meaning the objectives are positioned beneath the stage while the sample rests face down. This setup makes it easier to examine large or mounted specimens without additional preparation. The microscope uses reflected light illumination, where light is directed onto the polished surface of the sample and the reflected image is captured through the optics.
The trinocular system allows simultaneous viewing through eyepieces and connection of a camera for optical analysis and documentation. This principle makes the G-800E practical for both direct observation and digital recording of metallographic structures.
