<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MissSasha, post: 715912, member: 20786&quot;]I&#039;m sorry to brush you off, I know you are trying to give me the best advice you think is worthwhile, but this is just incorrect.</p><p><br /></p><p>A microscope is easier to use and makes me work LESS. Using a loupe (which I do have for travel) requires 3 to 5 times more work and time spend. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like to work smarter, not harder. There&#039;s no point in flipping a loupe around in an archaic method just because it&#039;s what&#039;s people were doing before. That&#039;s like saying &quot;don&#039;t use a match to light a fire, keep striking two rocks together for hours, that&#039;s the only way to do it&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As another poster pointed out, a real microscope (stereoscope) allows both eyes to see things, thus giving it a true multi-dimensional view, just magnified. And there is a light source build in at the exact precise best lighting pointto boot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use a microscope at my labs in college for identification and sorting. If I or anyone else was to use a loupe, no one would ever get any research done. It&#039;s just a faster more efficient way. </p><p><br /></p><p>As much as it is fun to carry a loupe and look at coins at the shop with it, when I am at home and have a bag of stuff to go through, doing it the smarter faster way seems much more productive to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do appreciate ALL the advice everyone had taken time to give me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
