Laboratory of light microscopy and mechanical properties enables evaluation of metallographic sections of the light microscope Leica DM 2700 M in reflected light brightfield and darkfield, polarized light and Nomarski DIC. The microscope is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera and software for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the microstructure of samples (measurement of the dimensions and details phases in the microstructure, the evaluation of particle size, the proportion of phases, etc.). The microscope also enables display by transmitted light for analysis of the microstructure of thin translucent samples. The device is fully equipped for the analysis of metallic and nonmetallic materials.

The laboratory is also equipped with microhardness from producer Struers - DuraScan 70, which uses Vickers, Knoop and Brinell measurement methods with the load range of 0,25 gf - 62,5 kgf a 6 position automatic revolver head.
