I can only recommend the Motic microscopes. i'm very impressed for $1,70O incl
camera, not as sturdy as Leica (my favorite) but very good image quality.
Drawback: no cold light source. But you can get a gooseneck light and do top
illumination. Do not buy their polarizer, though.
Cheers,

Dear Clint,
Jerome is right. Do not expect to get a stereo microscope (these are
more or less two microscopes within a smart arrangement) for this price.
We purchased recently a Leica M205A, which defines the quality and price
for a high-end system. It has a magnification range using a 0.8 plan
The combination of for example 10-120x stereo-zoom magnification, good
optical quality, bright- and dark-field illumination,
and only 3000 US$ is NOT possible unless:
1) you are willing to buy a second hand of quality brands like Leica,
Zeiss, Olympus or Nikon (my preference)
2) you buy a low q
Clint,
We have a Leica MZ125 scope with a Leica KL1500 LCD lightsource. It has
adjustable zoom from 8x to 160x with the 16x occular lenses but can do up to
640x with a different occular. We also opted for the optional optical
micrometer and polarizing lenses for looking at birefringence.

Hi,
I am looking to buy a modestly-priced zoom scope for x-ray
crystallographic purposes ($2-3000). Does anyone have suggestions about
what/where to possibly find this? I currently have a cheap one that goes
from 7.5-50X, but I'd like something with a little more magnification, a
better light so
