The Southwestern Research Station hosts many workshops each year on taxonomy of flora and fauna of the area. We currently have 26 stereoscopic scopes (Nikon) that were donated to the SWRS many years ago. These scopes are in good condition and still used regularly by participants in out college level and above workshops.
Over the last 5 years, the SWRS has developed new field courses for 8-10th graders. Currently, for these classes we set up a few of our dissecting scopes in the classroom and the instructor supervise their use by the students. We are looking for donations of older scopes that can be used by the younger students that now come to the SWRS at part of our expanded outreach program. I know from past experience that many biology departments at universities have older scopes available after purchasing new dissecting scopes for their students. We are will willing to pay shipping costs of anyone (or organization) that would like to donate used dissecting scopes to the SWRS. We are a not for profit corporation. Thanks, Dawn S.
