Carl Zeiss Axio A1-Scope with Axiocam ERc 5S Microscope and Camera

Used to:

  1. Measure wear scar and/or wear track size
  2. Capture wear scar and/or wear track appearance.


Typically used with:

  1. BOCLE
  2. SL-BOCLE
  3. HFRR
  4. SRV
BOCLE(Left) & SL-BOCLE(Right)

The microscope is used to capture an image of a contact surface after a lubricity test was performed. The surface appearance of the wear scar can the n berated and the wear scar measured. The microscope is equipped with three lenses that are used to obtain different enlargements of the image. These include a 5x-, 10x- and 20x zoom.
