<div dir="ltr">What's wrong with something like this? Maybe not quite as nice as a high-end stereo scope, but about 10X cheaper, and even has a decent sized built in LCD (which can be piped to a larger monitor if need be):<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-10X-1000X-Magnification-Soldering-Appraisal/dp/B07LHJ8BB6?ref_=Oct_TopRatedC_2742273011_3&pf_rd_p=d358b362-7299-556c-88bc-d6c23c19db63&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=2742273011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=5F01PRSZRW2J90X3RKB8&pf_rd_r=5F01PRSZRW2J90X3RKB8&pf_rd_p=d358b362-7299-556c-88bc-d6c23c19db63">https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-10X-1000X-Magnification-Soldering-Appraisal/dp/B07LHJ8BB6?ref_=Oct_TopRatedC_2742273011_3&pf_rd_p=d358b362-7299-556c-88bc-d6c23c19db63&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=2742273011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=5F01PRSZRW2J90X3RKB8&pf_rd_r=5F01PRSZRW2J90X3RKB8&pf_rd_p=d358b362-7299-556c-88bc-d6c23c19db63</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Tim (making molehills look like mountains since 1959) Servo <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>

What is everyone using these days for stereo scopes?<br>
<br>
My eyes are finally pooched and I am looking for something with a decent field of<br>
view.<br>
<br>
So far, I am seeing AmScope products as a good contender. $650 seems to be the <br>
going rate.<br>
<br>
if anyone has any preferences, or recs or advice I would love to hear it.<br>
<br>
Was hoping to do something for less than $400.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
