Thanked: 2591those radio shack type sopes have adjustable eyepiece that can easily be moved from the optimal focus position and that makes it PITA to deal with(and the shallow depth of field). This 30x one does not have moving parts on it and once the focus is established its locked in place unless its intentionally changed. @ 30x the magnification is not much less than the Radio shack scope , just for illustration if the bevel looks like 7-8mm on the 100x radio shack scope , on this 30x one it looks like ~5mm wide with a lot more light, I was very pleasantly surprised by that.
I use a 30X handheld microscope on every razor that I hone. It tells me all that I need to know.
Forget the Radio Shack 60-100.Stefan
