[Nhcoll-l] Recommendations for microscopes for vertebrate collections

Hello everyone,

The University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates is starting to think about
purchasing a microscope for the vertebrate collections. In the past we've
borrowed and visited other labs on campus when we've needed a microscope,
but it would be great to have one on hand for visitors and ourselves. This
would be housed in the collections themselves (not the labs), and mostly
used for helping to ID and examine different structures. Most of the work
in the past has been done on mammals and fish.

Does anyone have any recommendations on dissecting or compound microscopes
they use in their collections for examination of physical structures?


Thank you,
Beth Wommack
