Interesting. I photographed the niece of Aldus Huxley (Brave New World) who is doing research in frog hearts for the University of Missouri-Columbia medical school. When she noticed my Leicas she said "I will only use Leica microscopes. It's hard to convince my budget committee to spend 5 times over what some other doctors use, but when I use my microscope all day long, the Leica makes the difference. It has a 3-dimensional quality the others don't have." I swear, I did not bring up the 3-dimensional thing! Her microscope does have a binocular eyepiece. So 3-dimensional qualities would pay in eye relief for long-time use, I'm sure. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch - -The world's full of apathy, and I don't care.
