That is huge. I want a field of view of a couple mm, max. I can do this with those little PC board video cameras by screwing the lens out from the chip, but it has the disadvantage of having to add a video monitor to the system. I use one for alignment of the centering jaws on my pick and place machine.
So, I'm going to look for a unit that is specifically sold as a microscope, even if they cost more.
