Thread: Stereo Microscope

Yeah, I have an old B&L like that. On mine you can focus the left one to be in sync with the lens on the right. That one is fixed and there are knobs on the right to raise or lower the apparatus to bring the object on the table in focus once the lenses are in sync. A knob at the top to set the multiplication factor. I got a pair of 15x lenses off of ebay bringing mine from 30x max to 45x.

I also have a high intensity lamp off to the side to illuminate the object when looking through the scope. It is a handy for making sure tattoo needles aren't hooked or blunted before bagging them up and sterilizing. That is what I bought it for originally. It is useful for checking edges on straight razors but I use my Widget supply 30x loupe far more than the microscope. Great to have though.
