What are the important parameters regarding purchase of a stereo microscope? I see some on ebay for around $50; are those good? Bob

I have been using ExpressPCB extensively over the last 2 years with great satisfaction now that it is possible to get Gerber files from them. I typically use the mini board pro service (3 bare boards, 2 sided with solder mask and silk screen) for prototypes and then buy the Gerbers to have production quantities done overseas. The boards are of high quality and the service is very fast at a very reasonable price. The only gotcha with regard to Gerber files is that you can only buy Gerbers for boards that you have actually bought from them, so the process is to buy the prototypes, then if you are happy with those, buy the Gerbers for that design.
