At a local auction I obtained an American Optics A10, Infinity plan apochromatic objectives X4; X10; X20; X40 & X100 (oil). Eyepieces are WF X10, but it is designed for demonstrations with a DualView attachment so that tow people can look through it together. There is also a light green arrow for use in indicating points of interest.
It should come in handy for demonstrating at Gormanston!

Looks the part Ruary. Been looking at some microscopes online, thinking about progressing on to microscopy when I finish my Intermeadiate exam - can you give a few pointers as to spec etc, that won't break the bank?
