🔍 Microscopes are essential for accurate watch repair due to the tiny tolerances of watch parts.

⚙️ Investing in a high-quality microscope is recommended for serious watchmakers.

⛔ Avoid purchasing a lower-cost microscope option.

💡 A binocular microscope with adjustable eyepieces allows for a single field of view.

🔍 When using a microscope, it is best to hold your eyes about an inch off the lens.

🔍 A Barlow lens is an auxiliary lens that alters the magnification of the microscope.

⚙️ Using a Barlow lens with 0.5 times magnification cuts the magnification level in half and allows for a larger working area.

🔭 The Barlow lens also provides a wider field of view at lower magnification levels.
