The combination of for example 10-120x stereo-zoom magnification, good
optical quality, bright- and dark-field illumination,
and only 3000 US$ is NOT possible unless:
1) you are willing to buy a second hand of quality brands like Leica,
Zeiss, Olympus or Nikon (my preference)
2) you buy a low quality brand and you will later regret having done
that .....
My two cents of advice, go for a SECOND HAND or, get more funding i.e.
at least triple the amount

Hi,
I am looking to buy a modestly-priced zoom scope for x-ray
crystallographic purposes ($2-3000). Does anyone have suggestions about
what/where to possibly find this? I currently have a cheap one that goes
from 7.5-50X, but I'd like something with a little more magnification, a
better light source and better optics.
Thanks,
Clint
