I would like to use this device to mesure a diameter of perofration holes in leather products.
the precision must be in 0.01 MM.
Is this product able to perform this activity?
if not what do you recommand?
Thank You
thanks for your query.
The calibration ruler shows a maximum of 0.076 mm, which can be captured on a photo (the photo can be downloaded using software to a computer for measurement in the Portable Capture Plus program).
Therefore, this microscope model is not suitable for your needs.
For the current request, a microscope that uses a calibration slide with a division value of 0.01 mm would be suitable. For example, this could be a MAGUS Bio 230B Biological Microscope (82892) - https://eu.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/magus-bio-230b-biological-microscope/?oid=52703
Hope this helps!
