[meteorite-list] Only the best microscope ever!

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi List,  That's a tall lead-in typed the  Subject line.  Maybe a few 
qualifiers are in order such as polarizing  optical microscope but that's about 
it!

This microscope is listed on  eBay.  I don't know the seller and I wish I 
was in the position to add a  new scope to the family.

Many people (often list members) ask me about  "what microscope do I buy?"  
If you are going after a pleasant trip into  the world of Xpol thin section 
examination, this is one to get.  You can  spend more but you won't get 
more.  (Really, I don't know the seller!)  

Personally, I would up the light source (it has the little 35W only) but  
this is one of the microscopes designed to meet NASA's criteria for the first 
 Moon rocks.  This was the first series of scopes to use infinity focal  
length in a transmitted light set up.

Any way, check it out and email me  if you buy it!  So I can live 
vicariously through you for a  while.
