<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 717040, member: 15199&quot;]I appreciate your experience Bill! Thanks for passing it along.&nbsp; I am on the other side, I have used stereo microscopes for close to 40 years, so it is second nature for me. There are a couple of other notes on stereo microscopes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The higher grade ones have one eyepiece tube that can adjust the diopter value. Usually from about +5 to -5. Since this is on one eyepiece tube only, If you wear glasses and your 2 eyes are not more than 5 diopter different, you can set the adjustable one, so both eyes focus the same and you can leave your glasses off.</p><p>Much more comfortable!</p><p><br /></p><p>These are often cast offs from engineering and manufacturing companies and if you find one with an extended arm ( like the handle of the microscope), you can use it like a macro lens for the digital cameras that do not have a removable lens, just shoot through the eyepiece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
