Order the attachment directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask the consultants for integration advice.

Attachment lens W1.5 — 1.5× magnification, Ø48 mount (Metav IndustryLine)

The Attachment lens W1.5 increases the magnification of a stereo microscope by 1.5×, providing improved detail recognition for routine inspection and fine assembly tasks in laboratories and workshops.

• 1.5× magnification boost for stereo microscopes
• Ø48 compatible mount for standard eyepieces
• Lightweight optical glass for clear imaging
• Simple attachment, preserves working distance

Faster, more reliable visual inspection for quality control

The 1.5× magnification upgrade reduces reliance on repeated repositioning and rework by bringing small features into clearer view during the first pass. Integrated into a standard stereo microscope, this optical accessory extends visual resolution while maintaining the original optical axis, so measurement workflows and visual checks become more efficient. The result is higher throughput in inspection loops and fewer ambiguous findings during quality control.

Designed for quick integration and steady handling

Compatibility with a Ø48 mount means straightforward fitting to many common stereo microscope heads, allowing rapid retrofitting without optical overhaul. The W1.5 design keeps the working distance stable, retaining operator posture and tool clearance that are critical during soldering, micro-assembly or dissection tasks. Where system integration needs clarification, Metav IndustryLine provides specification guidance to ensure the attachment aligns with existing microscope configurations.

Optical clarity that supports confident decisions

Constructed to preserve contrast and minimise aberrations, the lens delivers a noticeably improved field of view at increased magnification, so small defects and fine structures are easier to evaluate. The enhanced image quality reduces eye strain and speeds decision-making for inspectors and technicians, turning visual checks into a more reliable stage of production and assembly. The accessory is therefore suited to electronics inspection, precision engineering and educational laboratories seeking consistent observational results.

Practical applications and who benefits most

Engineers, quality inspectors and lab technicians gain from the incremental magnification without adding complexity to their microscopes; the attachment is particularly useful for component inspection, entomology slides and detailed surface checks. Its compact form and standard mount make it a practical option where space and handling matter, enabling existing optical benches to deliver greater resolution with minimal additional training.
