The key word you selected was "with the right lens". Once again, we only have the 20-200x lens. As a macro photo it has great features. Our cross sections require more than 200x mag for clarity and sharpness. The inverted microscope is my tool of choice. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ken Bloomquist Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 1:43 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] microscopes You're right Richard, they are spendy and that's why I wasn't able to get one. Vic, why don't you use it for cross sections? It seems like with the right lens and the capture capability it would be a good candidate.

Not suited for all application. We currently use the 20-200x lens. Other lenses optional. Not used for cross section photos.
