Hi there,

Welcome to the community.

The USB2-MICRO-250X does not have a traditional zoom function. Instead, magnification is controlled by physically moving the microscope closer to the object and adjusting the focus using the microscope’s focus wheel.

To adjust the magnification and focus:

  1. Rotate the focus wheel fully in one direction until it stops.

  2. Slowly rotate the focus wheel in the opposite direction while watching the preview window in your camera application. Continue rotating until the object comes into focus.

When the clear shield of the microscope is touching the object, there are two possible magnification levels.

  • The first level is approximately 60x.

  • If you continue rotating the focus wheel, the image will go out of focus briefly and then become clear again at a much higher magnification.

With the clear lens touching the object, here are the two magnifications. Results will vary based on how close or how far the lens is from the physical object.
