Hello,
I recently purchased a AmScope microscope SM-6TZ-80S-5M-EUL-3P, 3.5X-90X microscopes which includes both barlow lenses 0.5X and 2X based on a recommendation from the supplier.
( I understand it is not the top brand to go for, for micro stone setting / engraving. However, currently all my jewellery making is self taught & part time so spending upwards of £2000 was not quite feasible, that being said I have only just received it and I can still return if not fit for purpose)
I have set the microscope up but encountered an issue with the lens having to be so close to the work piece to focus that I can’t get my hands in to work on it. I have tried both single and a combination of both lenses that were supplied…
To get the distance between the work piece and the lens would that just require new lenses ( any idea which magnification ) or is the model of microscope I ordered just not fit for purpose?
I appreciate any advice, please go easy on me, as previously stated, I am a hobbyist and not been to microscope school!!
Thanks always,
Pippa
