Alright /sci/, I need your help. A few days ago I posted about

if you're gonna buy a microscope to fuck around with, i'd get a lab surplus dissecting scope, like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-SMZ-1-Stereozoom-Dissection-Microscope-7-30X-Missing-Stage-/292176671893?hash=item4407163495:g:wp4AAOSwfpVZODVI
