Hi Howard, Just a little more on stereo scopes. I am leaving tomorrow morning to pick up a new micromount member & head from LA out to Redlands, CA to attend our annual Southern CA. Micromounters Conference. There will be at least 70 stereo scopes set up for a week-end conference. People come from all over the U.S. A large, long 30 foot table will contain the "give-away" minerals brought by collecting members. There will be 2 speakers on Sat. & 1 on Sun. Interspersed will be slides shown by members & an auction of micromounts. Plus a catered dinner Sat. nite. I bought my used AO stereo scope from a member there plus a lamp for $550. 7-30 power zoom. To those of you who are concerned of purchasing a used scope, remember this – it does't hurt a scope to "look" through it. You can look through a scope 1,000,000 times & it is just as good as new! 😉 Rod
