I use a Vixen triplet 10x loupe for studying meteorites. I also tested Minox Macroscope. I wrote a mini review here Minox Macroscope . It will give you about 16x magnification and You can digiscope with it. For photographing I us a dslr with a macro bellow. Sometimes I use a microncope, a simple Bresser Biolux NG with webcam. Tre light i fix with a Maglite with fiberoptics attached. -------------------- http://www.kikarforum.se The Swedish binocular community Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on microscopes for meteorites edwincjones 06/14/08 10:23 AM Re: microscopes for meteorites Veridian   06/23/08 01:49 AM Re: microscopes for meteorites edwincjones   06/23/08 04:59 PM Re: microscopes for meteorites Veridian   06/24/08 01:18 AM Re: microscopes for meteorites/loupes? edwincjones   06/24/08 09:51 AM Re: microscopes for meteorites/loupes?
