Auxiliary Objective Lens 0.5X for Stereo Microscopes Overview This metal auxiliary objective expands the working range and flexibility of stereo microscopes with a BINOCULAR drawtube. The 0.5X model reduces overall magnification for wider field of view and longer working distance, and is available in other powers for different needs. Key features and benefits Durable metal construction for longterm stability and reliable alignment during regular use. Reduces magnification while maintaining image quality, improving the field of view and working distance for larger samples or assembly work. Simple mechanical fit: 17/8 inch (48 mm) mounting thread for secure installation on compatible heads. Designed for stereo microscope systems with a BINOCULAR drawtube and total magnification up to 500X and under. Packed as a single auxiliary objective, ready to install. Specifications Size: 0.5X (this listing is the 0.5X model) Available magnification powers: 0.5X, 0.7X, 1X, 2.0X Mounting thread: 17/8 inch (48 mm) Material: Metal Optical theory: Stereo microscope Drawtube type: BINOCULAR Magnification ratio: 500X and under Package contents: 1 PC x Auxiliary Objective Compatibility and use Fits stereo microscope heads that accept a 17/8 inch (48 mm) auxiliary objective and use a BINOCULAR drawtube. Confirm mounting thread and system magnification limits before . Suitable for systems where lowering magnification is required to inspect larger areas without losing stereo depth. Practical applications Electronics inspection and rework: view circuit boards and solder joints with a wider field to locate faults and position tools more easily. Jewelry and watch : inspect larger components and assemblies while maintaining comfortable working distance. Education and lab work: observe specimens that require lower magnification and improved context, useful for demonstrations and sample sorting. Why choose this auxiliary objective Provides a straightforward way to adapt a stereo microscope to tasks that need a wider field of view and greater working distance. Metal construction ensures mechanical durability and repeatable mounting. Clear compatibility information makes it easy to confirm fit with existing BINOCULAR stereo microscope setups and magnification requirements. Package 1 piece auxiliary objective, metal construction, 0.5X model.
