I have never been overly concerned about color temperatures affecting my pics, I always can fix it later.. I see the advantages of LED lighting more than make up for the drawbacks...

Re: Home Made Stereo Microscope Stand (for Wild M3)

In the future, check out a piece of unknown steel for hardness by trying to cut it with a file.. If it files easily, it is soft enough to drill with HSS bits...
