Subject: [meteorite-list] Narrowing down my microscope choices


Based on the great feedback I have received from Met-List members, I have 
decided to go with a gently used, Nikon binocular/trinocular zoom 
microscope. I have narrowed it down to either a Nikon SMZ-2 or SMZ-10.

Does anyone have a manual for the SMZ-10?
How hard will it be for me to find accessories like ~0.5x and 2x objective 
lens that don't require a 2nd mortgage?

Seems like every scope has slightly different dimensions and so the 
accessories are custom. Seems like the eyepieces are standard. Is that 
correct?

By the way, the scope will be used to take pics of macro features on 
meteorites. Not quite yet ready to jump into thin slices ... yet.

Thanks,

Mendy
