    I have purchased several microscopes on E-Bay, mostly zoom Meiji
    scopes similar to the ones GRS sells. You need to be sure that you
    get a .5 diopter lens for the scope, it cuts the magnification by
    half, and doubles the working distance to about 6 inches. I have both
    types of GRS stands, the acrobat is easy to maneuver. I bought my
    first scope at least 15 years ago- yes it was a major tool purchase
    at the time, but it has paid for itself many times over. I couldn't
    set small stones (.01) without it....
