I have a couple of BAUSCH & LOMB stereo zoom microscopes
they have a .7 to 3 magnification in the body and 10 in the eyepiece
also an accessory is a concave lens that fits under the body so can
work further away
When I had it at work working as a clockmaker :-

the accessory lens is in the rough at the front left
That one cost me 50 quid iirc
Excellent for hunting shorts on pcbs and looking under chips, hand

I managed to
score a *free* used Brazilian knockoff Zeiss stereo
microscope meant to be wall-mounted for a doctor's office and it's
been really, really nice (in the past, I've borrowed a dissection
microscope).
Nice... A good stereo microscope is soemthing I intend getting sometime.
I did fid a little stero magnifier (a mini-microscope) made by Beck of
London for a few pounds in a charity shop. Of course it's now here :-)
Soem years ago a freidn of mine said he and an old microscope that he
didn;'t want. I was expecting at best a Russian thing (which, to be fair,
are quite reasoanble). I was amazed when he gave me a genuine Zeiss
microscope with 3 objectives in the turret. It needed a minor electrical
repair to the lamp PSU, but that was hardly a problem.
