    if you go with what is termed a surgical microscope, you can get
    increased depth of field, at, say up to 40x, 150 mm working
    distance, about 20mm depth of field. leica, zeiss, weck, etc, costs
    about $7-25,000 

    best bet? $25 get you an optivisor. i like it better, for jewelry
    work and gemcutting, than my $6,000 Zeiss, or the $12,000 weck. i
    use a 10-80x zoom a/o scope of the bench, for when I really do need
    to get a better look at something. 

    with the optivisor, I have eliminated head strain, and it is simply
    easier to work with, always follows me around. takes up less space
    than one of the surgical scopes.
