I am contemplating the purchase of a microscope and I read where many engravers are using the Meiji EMZ microscopes and some are using the Omano OM-99. However, I also have read comments by other engravers who use more expensive European made microscopes due to their better optics.
When I search the web for Meiji EMZ microscope I find several different models using the "EMZ" prefix followed by a numeral(s). Do these numerals indicate working distance by any chance?
I am a learning engraver and use 2.75x stereo magnifiers. I will not be a full time engraver, but expect to engrave maybe at most 5-8 hours/week. What microscope brands and models should I direct my search to and how to I separate the "wheat from the chaff"?
Your help will be appreciated.
