OK! here goes...well the B and L stereo zoom has a screw in place over the optics underneath... it is for attaching close up lenses or reduction in power lenses etc. you can also screw in a clear cover. the cover will also screw in our the aux lens if my brain remembers right. Many other stereo microscopes also have this provision to add a clear filter or aux booster or de-creaser in power lens. always best to keep active optics covered with some protection to save from solder splash, sharp things sticking up from scratching etc etc...

Ditto on the second paragraph. But I'm not sure what you mean by a "cover thing". Care to elaborate? Thanks, Chuck
