  • Page 2 Contents Page 4 Part Number List Pages 5-11 Optical Depth Micrometer The Optical Depth Micrometer is a visual inspection microscope designed to make quick and repeatable measurements of the depth of small surface features, like pits, scratches, and engraving. Pages 12-15 Micrometer Lab Stand Designed for use when surface geometry prevents using the handheld Micrometer...

  • Page 5 Optical Depth Micrometer Interchangeable Eyepiece Focus Ring Digital Display Interchangeable Handheld Base Flashlight Ring Interchangeable Objective Digital Display Detail in/mm ORIGIN Toggles between US standard Sets the absolute zero that the tool will reference from (in) and metric (mm) by default. Origin is preset so the Micrometer will be in focus on a flat surface at 100X magnification.
  • Page 6 Interchangeable Bases 8400-7 8400-8 8400-71 Base, 3-Leg Base, 4-Leg Base, 3-Leg, Delrin Tip Tripod bases are Delrin-tipped feet Use the 4-leg base used for most flat protect windshields on broad convex and and simple curved and other delicate concave surfaces.
  • Page 7 There are no threads on the eyepiece tube. Promptly replace the eyepiece to prevent debris from entering the Micrometer through the exposed 8400-15 8400-14 Eyepiece, 10X Eyepiece, 20X eyepiece tube. To change the objective lens, rotate...
  • Page 8 Install optics for desired level of magnification. Install handheld base or mount on a Lab Stand. Position directly over the damaged area. Shine the flashlight down into the eyepiece. A bright spot will appear directly below the objective, this will be the center of the field of view.
  • Page 9 Measuring Depth The Micrometer uses focus to measure the distance between two points on different surfaces (at different heights). Features at the same depth will appear in focus and features above or below appear blurry. Turn the Focus Ring to move the focus up and down. The entire measurement cycle should be completed by the same person.
  • Page 10 Transparent Surfaces The method for measuring depth on a transparency (scribe lines, for example) is the same as any other surface: focus on the surface next to the damage, zero the display, and focus down to the bottom. Measuring overall thickness is the same except that, instead of the bottom of a pit, the second surface is the far side of the glass.
  • Page 11 Calibration The Micrometer can be returned to J Chadwick Co for recertification, or any ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration lab can provide a calibration certificate using this procedure. The Micrometer can easily be calibrated in-house. The procedure is a verification of accuracy against standards (gage blocks); no adjustment to the tool is required.

  • Page 13 Lab Stand Setup Loosen thumb wheel to remove the Micrometer Focus Block from the Base Plate, set aside. Set the Base Plate on a flat surface. Slide red Safety Ring onto the Lower Pole on the Base Plate. Do not tighten. Thread the Upper Pole onto the Lower Pole on the Base Plate.
  • Page 14 Correct Lab Stand setup with Lead Screws, Micrometer and Flashlight installed. Lab Stand Disassembly For Storage In Case Remove Micrometer Focus Fixture from Pole, set aside. Remove Safety Ring from pole assembly and return to case. Remove (unthread) the Upper Pole from the Base Plate and return to case.
  • Page 15 X-Y Stage Installation Lead Invert the X-Y Screw Stage and place Clamps near the edge of a flat surface (like the edge of a table). Position the Lab Stand Base Plate over the X-Y Stage so that the (4) holes in the Base Plate align with the threaded holes...

  • Page 17 Using the Eyepiece Camera Position the computer or tablet (with DinoCapture software installed) near the subject. Plug Dino-Eye camera into the USB port and open DinoCapture software. Check that the camera is live. Position Micrometer over the subject using the flashlight to pinpoint the ROI (see page 8 “Setup Instructions”).
  • Page 18 Surface Replication with Microset ® J Chadwick Co is an authorized US reseller for Microset Products, LTD, United Kingdom. For more products, SDS and other technical information, visit the manufacturer’s website: https://www.microset.co.uk MICROSET® 101 REPLICATING COMPOUNDS very high resolution, two-part silicone polymers specifically designed for surface replication.
  • Page 19 Thixotropic vs. Fluid Compounds Thixotropic compounds can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces without the compound dripping or flowing away from the surface. The free-flowing nature of fluid compounds minimizes the risk of air entrapment in the replica and makes application easy over large areas.
  • Page 20 Making Microset Replicas Microset replicas are made using a simple application system that is comprised of a dispensing gun, compound cartridge (contains both base material and catalyst), mixing nozzles, and backing paper or slides. Each application delivers fully mixed replicating compound directly to the area of interest.
  • Page 21 During application, keep the nozzle touching, or as close as possible, the surface to avoid trapping air in the replica and to push the material into surface features. Squeeze dispenser handle slowly and steadily to apply compound. Push and weave the nozzle from side to side to completely cover area.
  • Page 22 Microset Trouble Shooting Dispensing gun fails to pressurize cartridge. Check slider and replace if necessary. Compound does not bond to backing paper. Wrong side of backing paper used. Material cures in the nozzle. Nozzle attached for too long a period before use. Replace nozzle.
