First Time Microscope Owner in Minneapolis USA
Hello Everyone,
I just bought a very old AO Spencer "Black Beauty" scope from 1950's. Having a lot of fun with it, and would love to learn more about how to use it and improve its performance.

Welcome to the forum Gslab.
I'me sure you'll find everything you need in the forum. It's a very rich and addictive environment for a microscopic.

I don't know the exact model of your microscope, but I'm sure @apochronaut knows a lot of American Optics models and will help you later on.
