Don't know Rick. We've been round the pole on several occasions with Grepper on the microscope question. Seems like it always comes down to $100.00 or $1200.00 and its not really clear what $1200.00 is going to buy you from an optical standpoint because most of the metallurgical scopes are much lower magnification. We're a $100.00 bucks here but did invest in the construction of a solid mounting apparatus and stage for the scope. Would like to be of more help but we haven't even been able to answer our own questions on this subject. Mark R. is part eagle and can tell the sex of a gnat at 100 yards (and he's still just a pup) so he doesn't need much help.
