I want one, just because. I don't trust everybody like your average simpleton. I check things out when I can.

Get one. Then you’ll be able to check your own sputum for AFB.

I like the thought of verifying things. I will learn, quickly if necessary.

I’ve had to buy over a dozen polarized light and phase contrast microscopes for asbestos analysis for my small company, at a cost of $1500 to $4500 each. Maybe they can make these to do asbestos analysis. I’m microscope and computer poor.

Enjoy your smart-ass statement. It really boils down to curiosity, nothing more. You must place a lot of trust.

LOL. He hasn’t been able to find a job in astronomy, and is working in a lab in Houston. I told him he would have a hard time using his degree. My nephew has an engineering degree from A&M, and has his own environmental/safety company (makes a LOT more money).

Actually, it wasn’t meant as a “smart-ass statement”.

Thanks.
That’s a lot of lens for $240. Especially since the lenses appear to have been made in the USA.
