The OV100 system adopts a high-end optical system, features a wide range of magnification Magnification A measure of the effectiveness of an optical system in enlarging or reducing an image. For an optical system that forms a real image, such a measure is the lateral magnification m , from 1.6x to 16x, and enables the thorough observation of small animals, ranging from the whole body to cells.
