4.1 Lens Selection and Usage

The microscope comes with three specialized lenses for different applications:

  • Lens L (60-240x magnification): Ideal for soldering and repairing tasks, offering a suitable working distance.
  • Lens A (18-720x magnification): Suitable for observing larger objects like coins, plants, and stones.
  • Lens D (1560-2040x magnification): Designed for high-magnification viewing of biological slides.

To exchange lenses, carefully remove the current lens by unscrewing it and install the desired lens by screwing it into place.
