I don't have a specific brand in mind, just inexpensive. I need something
that will allow me to visualize but with enough working distance to dissect
the sample. Hopefully powerful enough to visualize GFP in rat brain sections
- I usually get a very good signal. I would welcome any suggestions on how
to make this GFP "cheapostereoscope" from off-the-shelf parts.
