With the new AE2000MET, Motic introduces an Inverted Metallurgical micro-
scope dedicated to the inspection of bulky samples in automotive, machinery
and steel industry. Large metal pieces or die casting parts, too large to be
treated with an upright microscope model, can easily be examined to perform
failure analysis, material research and quality control.
®
Motic’s CCIS
optics, an advanced Infinity concept with maximum flexibility,
provides new Brightfield/Darkfield objectives with Long Working distances for
the inspection of massive opaque samples. High quality glasses and anti-reflex
coating ensure superb image quality.
The robust 3-plate stage allows smooth scanning of the specimen.
A powerful 100W Halogen light source allows easy performance of Brightfield,
Darkfield and POL contrast.
The complete AE2000MET microscope is manufactured in accordance with
current RoHS standards. To protect the system from fungus growth in high-
humidity environments, an anti-fungus treatment is applied to all parts of the
microscope.

ROBUST MANUFACTURING
QUALITY FOR A LONG LIFETIME
Motic’s AE2000MET incorporates maximum reliability in any aspect of its mechanics. The sturdy
microscope stand follows all needs for a prolonged effortless operation. The ball-bearing 5-fold nosepiece
for M32 objective thread guarantees proper parcentration and comfortable objective change.
The scratch resistant 3-plate stage has an extended surface area of 280x180mm, with a travel range
of 50x50mm for safe and fast inspection purposes.
The eyepiece tube with 45° viewing angle and 48-75mm interpupillary distance guarantees relaxed
viewing for hours. The extended “butterfly” movement increases the viewing height for individual
positioning by 40mm. Light split with activated Trino port is 20/80.

NEW BF/DF OBJECTIVES
FOR METALLURGY
Motic’s superb CCIS® Infinity concept has created a set of new BF/DF objectives, especially meant for
metallurgical samples. Long working distances are verified throughout this class of LM Plan Achromats.
Aberration-free images with improved field flatness and resolution are delivered by multi-layer coated
glass lenses. All BF lenses from the BA310MET program can be used without parfocality restrictions
by adapter rings.
The standard eyepieces N-WF 10X/20 with high eyepoint for eyeglass wearers provide consistent
diopter adjustment for both eyes. All reticles from the BA series of Upright microscopes can be used.

SUFFICIENT POWER RESOURCES
The AE2000MET is equipped with a strong 12V/100W Halogen light source, delivering enough power
to support the requirements of Darkfield and POL contrast.
As a safety precaution and for energy-saving purposes, Motic has implemented a “sleep mode” in the
AE2000MET. An IR motion sensor detects the user in front of the microscope and automatically turns
off the microscope when it is left for more than 15 minutes. By returning to the instrument, the power
is reactivated.
Darkfield observation requires a high setting of illumination intensity. A switch from Darkfield to Brightfield
may cause a dazzling to the human eye. To eliminate this risk, an eye protection mechanism has been
implemented in the AE2000MET. This ergonomic feature automatically drives down the illumination
intensity when changing from DF to BF and thus avoids a potential glare.
In addition to the standard package, the AE2000MET offers a set of polarizer & analyzer for simple POL
contrast. The rotatable analyzer ensures the perfect setting of crossed POL filters.

A FLEXIBLE UPGRADE
FOR DIGITAL RESULTS
Documentation of image results is a standard task in industrial quality control. The AE2000MET is
accessible by the traditional photomicrography and the more flexible C-mount camera approach.
The Trinocular version of the AE2000MET is recommended for a convenient camera adaption. The
adaptation of SLR camera consists of a mechanical adapter combined with a photo eyepiece (2.5X or 4X).
The necessary T2 adapter specifically fits to the camera model and is supplied by photo specialist shops.
The Moticam series of digital C-mount cameras delivers excellent live images, ready for presentations
and further storage. All Motic cameras come equipped with proprietary software to transform the
AE2000MET into an analysis and documentation station.
For limited top landing bench, Moticam 580 is ideal for the presentation of High Resolution images on
an HDMI screen without a computer. The wireless models Moticam X and X2 are dedicated to run
under tablet and smartphone control through our “MotiConnect” App. Our tablet cameras with touch
screen in first instance work as a fixed monitor solution, but may also create a hotspot for remote
tablet/smartphone access.
