Microscopes

Nice... A good stereo microscope is soemthing I intend getting sometime. I did fid a little stero magnifier (a mini-microscope) made by Beck of London for a few pounds in a charity shop. Of course it's now here :-) Soem years ago a freidn of mine said he and an old microscope that he didn;'t want. I was expecting at best a Russian thing (which, to be fair, are quite reasoanble). I was amazed when he gave me a genuine Zeiss microscope with 3 objectives in the turret. It needed a minor electrical repair to the lamp PSU, but that was hardly a problem. It's not stereo, thoug. It does have binocular eyepieces, but with a beam splitter from one objective. SO it's less tiring to use than a single eyepiece model, but you don't get 3D images. It's stil la very nice instruemnt -tony
