    Gentlemen, I find those radio shack type microscopes to be a pain in the neck. I bought one off of ebay for twenty bucks as I heard they were better. I think it is a Carson IIRC. It displays the image upside down, the focusing knob is stiff to turn and the optics are inferior. All in all I prefer my 30x eye loupe from Widget Supply.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
