The size of the artifact being interrupted determines the magnification.
I use a low mag stereo image to establish the region of interest then a
high mag for clarity such as 500, 1Kx or even in the SEM.

What kind of magnification would people recommend for looking at 
cross sections. I see on the cracked enig pictures a 20uM scale. What
kind
of magnification was used to get that shot?

We are getting ready to buy a new microscope and I have the luxury of
calling out some of the specs as long as they dont' cost a fortune.

Any input is apprectiated 

Thanks
