    You do occasionally see good stereo scopes come up on EBay: Nikon, Leica and Olympus for example. Cheap scopes won't do the job - proper lenses are expensive.

    I cant remember what make mine was, but it was a recon. Just having one eye I struggle with this type of thing, its bad enough in real life, pouring cups of tea etc, let alone looking through a microscope. Next time you do some soldering, close one eye and you will get the idea, mind the curtains though. Speaking as one that was trying to solder one day in the early days of soldering in the conservatory, could smell burning and noticed that a pile of clean dog towels blazing nicely beside me. Ooooooopss. Good job the door was open, they all went onto the patio, hurrah for stone patio's and water butts.

    I've loads of photos of my workbench. I don't want to spam on here so here's the facebook tour instead: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...2126055&type=3

    It's changing constantly and I still need to sort out the horrible old ceiling light ><

    It is a great bench. It was a present for my 40th birthday, from a lot of people and with some savings I gathered after I quit smoking the year before.

    So given the age, it still looks fab after 8 years of abuse! The top does have scratches and it does have disks, but is very reliable. Goes to show that quality outs all the time. The lesser bench was got at a very economic cost and it shows, bur it is not my day to day workhorse.
