Summary
Of the two zoom microscopes this one has the widest range of magnification, thanks to it having two sets of eyepieces.
The unusual ability to turn the magnification down means you can carry out repairs, 3.75X to 7.5X being the best for tiny items of jewellery and for watch movement repairs. You can, of course, turn the magnification right up for other applications.
Specification
- Two pairs of eyepieces (5X and 10X) give (between them) a continuous zoom with an amazing magnification range of 0.75X to 36X. The 10X eyepieces have extra-large (30mm dia) lenses give which give perfect vision whilst wearing spectacles.
- Working distance about 4 inches.
- Lighting: you can switch between reflected lighting (the 45 degree light), transmitted lighting (under the stage), both together or no lights at all.
Power, mains - Dimensions 400 x 330 x 145mm (15.75 x 13 x 5.75 in)
- Weight 4Kg.
Includes two pairs of eyepieces:
- 5X w/f (wide field) 14mm dia. gives continuous zoom from 3.75X to 18X
- 10X w/f (wide field) 20mm dia. gives continuous zoom from 7.5X to 36X
Applications
At 3.5X to about 5X, you will be able to use your hands, e.g. for painting miniatures, micro-soldering, any fine repairs.
At about 5X to 8X you will be able to work with fine tools on the tiniest objects, e.g. watch movements.
From about 10X this is a general 'inspection' microscope, for gemstones, stamps, coins...everything you might use a jeweller's loupe for (but much better optical quality!).
For jewellery, antiques renovation (even stamps and coins) you are unlikely to turn the magnification up beyond 20X, but you have the option.
