jewelers loop

Isn't this interesting....I just ordered a 20x and a 30x jewelers loop a few days ago.

I will post back in a few days, maybe a week, from now and let you know how it goes after I can spend some time toying around with it. I did find a reasonable website to order from that escapes me at the moment, some Coin Collecting Hobbiest place in Ohio.

I have decided to play with fire and enter the realm of microscopic cartridge set up.

Check out this thread, it shows the setup I use:

i just noticed we have the same exact table and cart. as well

Readster, do a Google search for "pocket microscope" and you'll get a lot of sources. I think they work better than loupes, but do take a little patience/practice. 50x is a good strength, allows you to see the stylus and cantilever at the same time.
