I'm looking for suggestions on a decent stereo microscope. There are many options on ebay but I have no idea what is good for SMD PCB work. It'd be nice to be able to solder or fix stuff as well as inspect. Also, I was thinking that maybe a good option would be a digital microscope like this one: http://www.carsonoptical.com/Pocket_Microscopes/Pocket_Microscopes/MM-480B I always seemed to have problems looking through a microscope lens as whenever I blink I'd see my eyelashes and stuff but I probably just didn't know what I was doing. Anyway, it sounds like a good idea to get a digital one which I could hook up to my netbook. Any experiences/suggestions?
