| Hi all
What magnification would you say is the best when looking for parasites on Koi and would you use the same magnification when testing for the different small parasites? |

| Hi Chris
One usually need only a X40 and X100 for the majority of parasites. So that is the eye piece (X10) and the lenses at the bottom (X4) and (X10)
example: (X10) X (X4) = X40
I also have a (X40) and (X60) lens but they almost never get used.
