The image is monocular and displayed on a screen, so it has no depth and a slight lag: soldering \u003cem\u003eunder\u003c\/em\u003e the lens takes practice. For inspection and checking, it is perfect; for continuous fine rework, a binocular microscope remains more comfortable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe advertised magnification is not an optical value. The supplier's original title claims “1600X” while its own technical sheet states “500X to 1500X”: it is a digital figure that depends on the size of your screen and the cropping. We therefore do not present either figure as a guarantee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo built-in screen and no battery: you need a computer or phone switched on and connected to use it. The supplier confirms there is no battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eiPhone and iPad are not in the stated compatibility.

It works on anything that ends up on the workbench — Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, PS1, PS2 and Dreamcast boards, modern handheld consoles, arcade sticks, USB encoders, ribbon cables and connectors. On the computer side, the supplier states Windows, Mac and Android; on Android, the phone must support USB OTG. iOS is not stated and we do not promise it. Declared certifications: CE, FCC, RoHS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#111213;font-size:1.35em;\"\u003eSkill level required\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo prerequisites for the tool: plug in the USB, open the camera app, adjust the focus wheel. It is the work around it that requires experience. To be bought separately: a computer or an Android phone with USB OTG support, a temperature-controlled soldering iron, solder, flux, desoldering braid and something to hold the board — a helping hand or a soldering mat. Usage tip: start by observing, set the height and focus with nothing under the lens, then practise the technique on a dead board before working on a console you care about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#111213;font-size:1.35em;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 USB digital microscope with a ring of 8 LEDs, supplier reference X4D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt connects via USB to the computer or phone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe exact details of the stand and accessories are not specified by the supplier.
