[meteorite-list] Inverted incident light microscope for sale on eBay

[Starsinthedirt at aol.com]

Hi list.  This is not an ad as I do not even know the seller of this  
microscope.

I have shared discussions with several list members on  appropriate 
microscopes for their meteorite examinations and I think there are  others who are 
wondering about picking up a scope so that is why I am posting  the Met List 
about a microscope.

I won't annoy any of you with  exaggerated claims about a microscope model 
like "Best ever" etc.  What I  will say is this is a great model microscope. 
 I have used one  personally.  It will give you results similar to what can 
be obtained on a  Neophot but 400 pounds lighter.

This particular scope looks to need some  TLC and perhaps some parts so 
keep that in mind.  Ebay has been weird  lately and I have seen some real 
bargains.  The starting price on it is  less than I have seen some of the 
objectives it comes with sell for.

The  listing is:

AUS JENA ZEISS SEDIVAL INVERTED PHASE CAMERA MICROSCOPE

Please  keep in mind this is an incident light microscope and will not be 
suitable for  the bright colors of cross polarized transmitted light.  A good 
example of  the images different style microscopes are used to create is in 
an old Meteorite  Times Micro Vision Article of mine.  Called "The right 
microscope for  you"

I'm not bidding so good luck!
