About a year ago, we purchased a dino-lite microscope with a normal
working distance.  Earlier, we had tested a dino-lite microscope
with a long working distance.  The problem of long working distance
is the integrated lighting, which is not sufficient for this
configuration. Moreover, the image quality was not very good.
Therefore, we favoured the normal working distance, which is
sufficiently large for our needs.

As a result we opted for the AM4013MT FVW with visible and UV light.
We use the microscope e.g. for examination of paintings and stone
objects in situ.
