So have I. It is excellent and, considering the quality, reasonably priced.
I have a SCHOTT light box/fibre optic cable & ring illuminator. These sort
of things are pretty well essential for providing a shadow-free illumination
to allow correct identification of many insect groups. Service is generally
excellent too.

This is the other company I would suggest. They advertise regularly and
widely in the entomological and wildlife press here in UK too. Worth
consulting, although I suspect that the Meiji 'scopes would be more
suitable.

Good Hunting
