From the discounters in Europe they run at about 40.00 Euros so would be about 40.00 dollars in the States. Try LIDL or somewhere like that, or on the internet.lafatlife said:
I looked on amazon.com yesterday and the cheapest one there was around $54. I have seen them a lot cheaper, I just can't remember where.lafatlife said:
Now, I work for the State and I know for a fact that every college has a surplus store. I have bought some great items from these stores CHEAP!!!!!!! (Top of the Line) You have to contact the store on campus to see when the public can come in and buy these items...Yes they get Microscopes coming and going. I have bought them there. Along with magnifier lights. I have bought microscopes for as low as 30 dollars...Yes, they are used. But still work fine. When a college gets new equipment where do you think the older stuff goes? They sell it. Quite honestly, for this hobby all you really need is a jewelers Loupe. I have one attached to "zip strip" in my office always handy if I need it to see a date or to read a back mark.
