What is the focal distance fromt he camera? How far do you have to have the item from the lens to magnify?

an electronic circuit board to reach an ideal magnification must be 1 to 5 cm, but I must say it has a very good resolution for revisions to welds on SMD components

you have focal/focus point,which is what it says.depth of focus is what you can use for average focal/focus. too little makes it hard to stay in focus,too much is all blur.

most items are right at the edge of the clear plastic end piece for 60x good microscope for the money

You can have it right on the object; but I generaly have it about 5 or 6 inches from it to see a coin full screen. You focus the camera for how far away you are from the object. The software that comes with the microscope camera lets you take pics or video easly.

It really depends on what the object is... anywhere between an inch and flush. It is not a very powerful microscope. I suggest spending a bit more money and purchasing one with better magnification. This is fine for experimenting with the kids and (hopefully) getting them interested in biology or the like but that's about it.

From my experience with this microscope, the object has to right up close to the lens to get a really good image.

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.

I'm very happy with mine and close range - 25-50 yards. Laser and dot seem to hold zero well. Have not tried with a magnifier but good idea!

YES, Minimum Focusing Distance: 1yds. YES, IF YOU CAN USE IT WITH GLASSES.YES, YOU CAN USE IT WITHOUT GLASSES.

The magnification with my 18 to 55mm zoom lens set at 55mm is 6X. The distance frim the subject is about 4 inches.

So this is a major concession in comparison with much less expensive cameras' focusing distances of one to two inches. Anyone with ideas as to why this is so. I used a Nikkormat with a Nikon macro lens for many years and have considered a Nikon digital body to allow continued use of the lens. Anyone with any thoughts on marrying such different technologies?

The device has only 1 lens. It may be 60x, but it does not have variable magnification, only variable distance (focus).

It lacks macro capability and its closest focus distance is 5 feet. If you can fill the frame with an object at that distance you can use it. If you need to get closer, you need to consider a lens with macro capability. I put the lens on my camera to verify the above comment and you can fill the frame with an object approximately four inches square (not four square inches) zoomed to 300mm at its closest focus distance. A tripod will maximize sharpness. Hope this helps.

I am just guessing but I assume it is 2 and 1/2 magnification; I have one of these and the cord that you put around your neck can be adjusted to bring your work into focus so I wouldn't worry about it. I love mine! Well worth the money!

A common lens of about 50 mm of focal lenght, cover a landscape of around 50º over all surface of the sensor. But a teleobjective of 500 mm cover an angle 10 times minor. That's to say one can see a very far object of 5º extension over all the surface of the same sensor. That is the magnification.

There is a Macro Mode option. How close you can get to your subject depends on the zoom setting. It ranges from 0.4 inches to 2.0 inches from the lens, according to the user manual.

Just looked at mine at I would say it zooms up to about 18 feet ... So go example I zoomed right in on something and had it crystal clear and it was 18 feet away.... Hope that helps?

You can focus on objects as close as 1.5 feet. For distance viewing, it brings everything 6-8 times closer depending on which model you get.

That is really a hard question to answer all I can say is I have been able to do some great closeups with the zoom, better then macro I think you have to be about 25 feet away to use the full zoom on closeups

The company claims:19 feet(6.3 yards)Minimum Focus DistanceIt works for me at 10 yards

IS will not matter at this focal distance. Only start worrying about IS (or VR as Nikon refers to the technology) past about 70mm

Close in focus is a problem with that lens. I have often found that a problem. The minimum focus distance depends on the zoom ratio selected. At the 28mm setting, the camera will focus down in the macro range (marked in orange on the focus distance ring) and that gets you to about 4 feet. The lowest focus distance marked in white is 2 meters, and that applies as the minimum focus distance with the 200 mm zoom setting. In between it varies proportionately to the zoom setting as to what your minimum focus distance is. In short, if you do a lot of work close in, this lens is not a good choice. I have no experience with extension tubes.

It depends on the focal length of your lens and it's speed (I mean open aperture value). Try to set the zoom lens at 90 mm approximately.
