Glasnost Pays Off
No one beats the Russians when it comes to inexpensive, high quality lab equipment. Everyone from electrical engineers to botanists to archeologists to jewelers will appreciate the craftsmanship of this 4.8x-98x stereo microscope. The scope comes with 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 4x, and 7x objectives plus pairs of 14x and 8x eyepieces, all with high quality achromatic lenses. Furthermore, it’s as loaded with extras as a Lexus off the lot: eye guards, arm rests, a scale reticle built into the 8x eyepiece and a grid reticle, a 14.5” adjustable stand to accommodate samples of all sizes. Also comes with a 6vac/20w illuminator with adjustable brightness, light condenser, and light filter for oblique/transmitted light and a substage reflector with a mirrored side and a diffusive white second side for transparent/translucent specimens. Try our Photomicrography attachment. Call for more information. A true treasure!

The Paragon
...is an inspection and dissection binocular microscope. The manufacturer says it's "perfect for industrial, agricultural, biological and educational uses." We heartily concur, which is why we're stocking this shiny new non-surplus item. "The Paragon" is 15" high, sturdy, easy to use, and has an acid and reagent resistant finish. At 10X and 30X magnification it's not for the weensiest microbes, of course, but if your work is on the scale of distinguishing weevil species, this is what you want. The 95mm dia stage plate reverses white to black for contrast, and the rack and pinion pole mount lets you view samples up to 17 cm in height. The binocular head is inclined for comfortable viewing, rotates 360°, Wide field 10X eyepieces adjust to 55 -75mm interpupillary distance. 1X and 3X objectives are turret-mounted. With the 1X objective, you get a 19mm field of view, with the 3X, a 9.5mm field. In either case the working distance is 95mm. Don't do entomology without it.

See It Again, Sam
A Sherlock Holmes-type magnifying glass is good, but this is better. It frees your hands and throws light on the subject! This 120-volt magnifying desk lamp has a heavy 7-3/8" x 5-1/2" x 2" base with a power switch, standard lamp cord, and 11" gooseneck ending in a 5-1/4" dia shade. Under the shade is a circular fluorescent bulb and a 3-3/8" dia lens with a flip-back cover. The box says the lens is 5X, we think it's closer to 2X. Either way, it's a major improvement if you need help to examine scientific specimens, to inspect stamps or jewelry, or just to read. And we won't even talk about how your nail care is going to improve after you see your cuticles under this thing!

Full Page Magnifying Sheet
Flat plastic Fresnel lens. This flexible magnifier is 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and only about a millimeter thick. It is great when you need to scan a list or to look for something in a directory. You can see most of the page without moving the magnifier. Only about 1.5 power, but that can make a huge visual difference. The quality is not high, but neither is the price.

Camera Tripod
A tripod with true portability -- It weighs only 2 lbs; the 4-ft aluminum legs (which can be locked down independently at any length) telescope to a convenient 22", and it slips easily into a zippered black-nylon quiver. The mast, which has a standard 1/4-20 camera mount and a built-in level, can be cranked up (literally) another 9-1/2". The manufacturer doesn't say how much weight the tripod will bear, but we'd keep it to under 10 lbs. Very nice for the money.

Be(prism)am
Nice little cubic beamsplitter prism. (Get it?) 12 x 11 x 10mm, it's painted black on (3) sides. Low transmission-about 70/30 or 80/20-but it'll be fine for classroom demos, experimentation, or perhaps souping up your fancy laser device.

Magnif Lamp
Magnificent magnifier lamp! Great for hobby work, stamp or coin collecting, needlepoint, sewing and crafts, even reading if your eyes are "mature". The plastic "head" assembly has a 3.5" dia, 3 diopter magnifying lens and a socket with switch for an incandescent lamp (60 Watt max.) This is mounted on the end of an arm the other end of which clamps to the table top. The arm has (2) roughly 15" long sections and swivels at the clamp to allow precise positioning over your work. Plugs into any wall socket. Basic black or white, it is a brand new good quality item that you will find so useful you will wonder how you got along without it!

Lighted Loupe
For when you need things big and bright. The acrylic-lensed eye loupe has an adjustable white LED attached to the side, powered by a button cell battery that's included and replaceable. The lens is just under 7/8" dia on a 1" long loupe with a 1-1/4" eye port. The package says 10X, but it looks more like 5X to us, which is still good for a loupe. The battery life for the light is approx 22 hours.
