The M. mexicanus still is available in addition to this stereoscope.

Included: 

-scope base w/ integrated under subject lighting

-scope head w/ integrated above subject lighting

-10x eye pieces

-20x eye pieces

-integrated 1x/3x objective lens

-glass plate

-plastic plate black/white

Details:

-110mm overall vertical travel

-10x/20x/30x/60x zoom combinations

Condition/usage:

-like new. Great for entry identification or viewing of small species. I used it for identification and it has enough zoom and clarity to identify all of California Camponotus, all Myrmecocystus, and various other species/genera. I upgraded to a trinocular scope and think someone else could use this to learn identification or view their colonies.

 

SOLD
