Re: Microscope for Soldering and Inspection Work

OK! here goes...well the B and L stereo zoom has a screw in place over the optics underneath... it is for attaching close up lenses or reduction in power lenses etc. you can also screw in a clear cover. the cover will also screw in our the aux lens if my brain remembers right.

I have high 5 figures invested into a home soldering lab. I use a digital video scope now, however for 5-6 years before that, I used this scope nearly every day for mostly 0402/.5 mm pitch soldering and repair: http://www.amscope.com/3-5x-90x-simul-focal-articulating-zoom-stereo-microscope-wit
