If you have a hard time seeing ring marking in the house, you might want to try a illuminated loupe, they cost about $8.40 and are really great for indoors. I don't know how I got along with out one. Just type in 30X illuminated loupe in Google and click on amazon.com site. Gene

Ramrod, here is the ebay store that I bought mine at, but there are many others available also. I have the stand with the microscope and would recogmend it, if you buy the micro scope.

Just put in the ebay search USB microscope, there are loads, and a damn site cheaper for the same model than the link ones

Edmund Scientific.com has usb scopes, but I don't know if the price is less than Ebay.

Most arts and craft stores carry 10x and 16x. They are cheap. I cannont find mine...its around here somewhere. But they come in real handy. Id go get one...cheap enough. HH-Joe
