I once got a QX3 cheap and I just couldn't get it to work right. Not having a stand is inconvenient too.

Stereo Trinocular Microscope Specs OK?
After reading the wealth of information in this thread and doing much research on the net, I believe I found a Stereo Trinocular Microscope (20X-40X-80X) that would work well for me. I plan on purchasing it this week unless I find a better deal. Do any of the specs look wonky?

Rik,
I'll put off my trip to Radio Shack until you give us an update!

This sounds great. I especially like the epi illumination and halogen lamp. That alone should make focussing easy.
I needed something with more magnification. I seem to be noticing effects that didn't show up at 60x but did at 100x, and correcting them seems to make a big difference. I may even benefit from 200x, and I know that being able to save a picture will make a big difference.

Here you go. They have quite a few models to choose from.

A more affordable 20x-40x-80x stereo microscope is also available from the company listed in the previous post. You can use a CCD camera on one of the eye pieces. A barlow lens can be purchased that would increase the magnification either 1.5x or 2.0x
This is the route I've chosen to go. I will plan on adding a high res camera next month. You can find the info here. A unit with a lower resolution camera is also available here.
Does this have all the bells and whistles of my previous post? Probably not. Will I miss them, I highly doubt it.Last edited by Rik; 09-27-2005 at 09:17 AM.

You guys are looking at some really fancy stuff unless you have some other needs. In any case, I'm expecting to see some great pictures posted. I'll start as soon as I receive my USB.
