I find myself shifting towards optimizing my existing scopes rather than considering purchasing an entire stand. Although I still look at some stereoscopes with envy and wondering if the higher resolution is really worth the cost..

I have a friend who enjoys playing the ukulele. He stared with one ukulele about two years ago. He now owns about twenty instruments and is always lusting after a new ukulele.

I never really understood this urge until my microscope arrived. I have a Swift 380T and I really like it and am enjoying using it but although I’ve had it less than a week I am already looking at a next microscope and compiling a list of the features my next one must have. I have a fear that the answer to how many microscopes are enough is this:
N(p) = N(c) + 1
Where:
N(p) is the perfect number of microscopes and
N(c) is the current number of microscopes you own.
