keeping my eyes out for a 20X-25X binocular dissection microscope for
the day when I can't see so well.
Since I'm considerably past that, I've been toying with the idea of
puchasing said microscope. Many years ago, I used a Bausch & Lomb
Stereozoom microscope with a long arm stand and loved it.
I see lots of these for sale and am tempted to spring for one. Is
there anything I need to know about picking up a used one?
