The knurling is the diopter adjustment to correct for an uncorrected eye and for focusing on a reticule if the ocular has one. I suspect a bigger issue is that you will probably not be able to get the camera close enough to get a reasonably sized image. I had much more success with high eyepoint oculars – which you will likely want to have anyway

Yes, I have already started looking for high relief oculars. I am still trying to sort out what ocular models are compatible with this scope. Do you have, by any chance, any compatible part numbers?

White. Why are you asking?

I think it is little bit newer, because letter W in the logo is wider. I found somewhere that at one point they redesigned logo.

The Le Naturaliste page I suggested above lists a tolerable few



The adjustable Zeiss W-PL10X/23 is also good, as are its even wider field siblings (up to 26.5mm), but the Zeiss 30mm stereo microscope eyepieces have been discovered by the stargazers and are in demand. You need to be a little careful with old Zeiss optics as they can delaminate internally and chip around the edges.

White is good. The early production, tan/yellowish model has some issues to watch out for. I had one for about a week, but returned it because it had one too many.

Sory to revive this old thread.

I just picked up what I think is a Wild Heerbrugg M7A Microscope for very cheap on marketplace (see pictures). I say I think because other than the brand (wild...) there are no model number visible.

My plan is to use it to do SMD soldering. However the unit doesn't have a stand and its eyepieces are 15x/17 which I think is a bit too powerful.

I was wondering if @MatteoX you were satisfied with the M7A and/or if it was worth to invest in a stand and a new pair of 5x  eyepieces?

Thank you
