Homebrew PCBs

I've both stereo microscope and USB microscope. I found both them are useful. I uploaded some pictures under  the folder http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/files/usb_microscope. You can check and than decide yourself. It is a very cheap one ~$50. The only problem you need at least 30fps otherwise it is not easy to solder a component. 
Cheers,
Volkan

                  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.carsonop tical.com/ Pocket_Microscop es/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?
