<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2720511, member: 15199"]Almost all of the stereozooms have a plate of glass or painter metal , light on one side and dark on the other. In the metal one it is easy to drill and tap a small screw hole and add a proper threaded knurled from the specialty connector boxes at a good hardware store. then you just gently rotate the plate by using the projecting screw.</p><p><br /></p><p> Also, at Walmart paint supplies today, I noticed that KILZ brand of colors had nice 8x10 sheet solid color paint 'chip' with peelable sticky on the back. So if you want different color background for your coins, gems, insects, just stick a sheet on your stage, and trim with a blade leaving a tab to aid removing. It is reusable, so stick it back on the backing until needed later. I took a few greys white and colors so white balance can be easier. I am planning to repaint some metal storage, so I will eventual buy some paint of one color, once I am ready.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are wanting to attach cameras to a scope through the eyepiece, look in Astronomy or Sky and Telescope for the firms that manufacture holders.
