The microscope is compatible with Windows and Mac OS devices, and you can connect the microscope to them using a USB cable. To connect the device to a TV, the AV cable is used. The microscope also allows for photographing, video recording, and measurements (linear, angular, radii, diameters, etc.).
The Levenhuk Discovery Artisan 128 microscope's digital 5-megapixel camera with interpolation up to 12 megapixels forms the image. The magnification range is from 20x to 500x, and the manual focus range is from 0 to 150mm. The microscope is great for working with metals, numismatics, restoration, jewelry, and repair work.
