The microscope is used to capture an image of a contact surface after a lubricity test was performed.  The surface appearance of the wear scar can then be rated and the wear scar measured.  The microscope is equipped with three lenses that are used to obtain different enlargements of the image.  These include a 5x-, 10x- and 20x zoom.
