Detail

• Good quality removable stone-holder, easy to swivel until you see the inscription
• One knob raises the stone up and down to line it up with the lens
• The other knob is for focus
• Extremely high quality 10X lens.

Under normal circumstances focusing a 20X is painful, you move it 2mm too close to the object or 2mm too far way, and it goes out of focus.  Not so here - because the stone is fixed firmly in its holder and the focus mechanism works beautifully.
