I have two of the hobby-standard Bausch&amp;Lomb 5x aspherical pocket lenses. (One is on my desk, the other in my coin show bag... back when we had coin shows...) I have some more like that...&nbsp; And I also have a Microsoft digitial microscope as well as an old high school lab microscope.&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">But for here:</font></p><p><font face="Georgia">This ad calls them &quot;Lighthouse.&quot; That&#039;s their US name.
