Frequently Asked Questions: I need more information
about the microscope's magnification: Does the microscope
perform digital or optical magnification? How many magnification
levels are there? How close to an object can the microscope
focus? The microscope uses optical magnification. You can
set the microscope to one of three magnification levels,
which roughly correspond to 10X, 60X, and 200X. These levels
are approximate and have been measured using a 15 in. (38
cm.) monitor. Actual magnification will vary according to
the size of your monitor. Each magnification lens has optimal
focus lengths of 23-29mm. |
