Sounds cool, but I'm not sure that it would be useful
in general maintenance of odd bits of trailing-edge
technology!  Now for the budding metalurgist...

There wasn't any information on the WU 'scope that I could find.  I don't 
know how much experience Jim has had with microscopes, or if he wants to 
solder while looking through the 'scope, but there are scopes with higher 
magnification that wouldn't work too well on the top side of circuit boards. 
Bottom sides would probably be okay.  I've tried to use clinical 'scopes 
(400 to 1200 diameters) looking for hairline breaks on circuit boards, but 
they focus so close to the objective lens that the board components get in 
the way as does the goose neck.  I would think a dissecting scope with lower 
magnification and deeper goose necks  might be usable since you have more 
room under the objective.  The 'scope in the picture seems to be equipped so 
that two persons can look through it at the same time.
Used, rebuilt, and even new microscopes; both of the clinical and dissecting 
type can be had for quite a bit less than $1000.

http://www.microscopestore.com/?s=GAWSadgroup=Microscopeskw=buy+microscopegclid=CMfXkqjDrZkCFSBinAod_jOpJQ

...or plug used microscopes buy into Google.

If you want to learn about different types of microscopes plug types of 
microscopes into Google.

That's actually a very nice scope to use. I used one just like that at an 
electronics manufacturing plant in Mexico last year to find solder problems.

Like I need a hole in my, well, whatever.  (And which I might
get if I brought home yet another POS, since my wife knows where
the guns are kept...)

_Nothing_ comes in here until at least the 240D leaves, unless
it's truly a stunning deal that I can't pass up.  (Grudge sale
of a flawless 6.9 for $100 by wronged wife, etc.)

I bet I could get away with a nice 108/109, because for some
reason my wife likes the look of those.  When I pointed at the
one in Roy as we drove by she said something to the effect of
those being nice looking cars.

I know: make that a grudge-sale 600!
