Hello,
I'm currently looking to buy a microscope, but few questions came up, because I don't know a thing about scopes.
1. How much should be the working distance? Some scopes from eBay in $400 price range have working distance of 100mm, is that enough for engraving? Should it be more, or can I live even with less?
2. Let's say microscope has 10x magnifier and range is 7-30x and it has 0.5x extender lens. Does the working range depend on microscope's manufacturer, or do they all have same characteristics?
3. Is Leica GZ4 stereo zoom microscope good for engraving?
4. Anything else I should know before buying microscope?
Thanks!
Viljo
