Hello guys, I have been watching a few of the repair guys and have admired the tools and test equipment they have. In particular Mend it mark has a microscope he uses to film his repairs. Just for fun I looked for one on craigslist and within the hour I purchased one !
Its a Omano 2300 7 x 45 with 10 x 20 eyepieces. On a really nice boom. I have been in contact with microscopes.com to get the parts I need to complete the unit. I now have a .5 Barlow lens coming. I guess this increases the working distance but also increases the field of view. I know its probably early for me to get one. But this is fun dealing with new kinds of equipment. Hydro

Hello Guys I received the .75 Barlow lens today and installed it on the microscope. It seems to be the perfect magnification 3.5 x 45 now. It should give a lot of hours of fun.
