4.1 Lens Installation and Usage

The microscope comes with three interchangeable lenses (A, D, L) designed for different magnification ranges and applications. To swap lenses, simply install or uninstall the screws. Ensure the lens is securely attached before use.

• Lens L (60-240x): Ideal for soldering and repairing circuit boards or mobile phones.
• Lens A (18-720x): Suitable for observing whole coins, plants, or stones.
• Lens D (1800-2040x): Designed for detailed observation of biological slides.
