Re: [meteorite-list] loupes (and 'scope?)

Hi Steve, You might also considering getting even an inexpensive stereo microscope. I almost didn't because I didn't want to spring for a nice one but I bought a fairly inexpensive 20x off e-ebay and have really gotten a kick out of it. It opens up a whole new world. Regards to all, Phil

RE: [meteorite-list] loupes (and 'scope?)

Hi Steve and List EVERYONE should at least have a 10x lupe, an illuminated magnifier and a preferably a scope, otherwise how the hell can you tell what you are buying!??? Imho it's the basic fundamental equipment for the hobby - go buy it. As far as lupes go, get one with a large diameter lens
