Magnification modes and working distances
Choose an optical mode, position the microscope within its working range, then focus. The 40×, 100×, 180× and 250× labels describe the maximum magnification of each mode, not a fixed magnification at every distance.
Working distance is measured from the tip of the end cap to the object, not from the microscope body or the stand.
| Optical mode | Working distance | How to position the microscope |
|---|---|---|
| 40× | 3 cm to infinity The lowest magnification mode and the longest working range. Keep the end-cap tip at least 3 cm from the object. | |
| 100× | 1–4.5 cm Inspect without touching the object. Keep the end-cap tip between 1 and 4.5 cm away. | |
| 180× | Contact to 1.7 cm For close inspection: place the end cap in contact with the object or up to 1.7 cm above it. | |
| 250× | Contact to 0.8 cm The highest magnification mode: place the end cap in contact with the object or up to 0.8 cm above it. |
Focusing range and automatic measurement are different. G-Scope Desktop checks whether the current focus is within the manufacturer-calibrated interval. Use the calibrated image scale for measurements; if automatic calibration is unavailable, use a correctly prepared manual calibration with digital zoom off.
Capillaroscopy uses a separate 250× capillary mode with the dedicated capillary end cap in contact with the sample. That end cap is not part of the standard package.
