A home machining project I'd really like to approach is the builing 
of a microscope, but unfortunately I really don't know a damn thing 
about optics!  I look though the scientific/optic catalogs shows 
myriad and confusing choices for lenses and lens mounts.  Alos I'm 
not 100% clear on how the fine focus mechanisms work.

I've seen nothing in the Village Press mags for the last 8 years, 
nothing anywhere else either....anyone have drawings or other info on 
Micoscopes?

Thanks........Bill

If memory serves me correctly, Model Engineer ran a series about
three years ago on building a microscope.   Perhaps someone else
can remember exactly when?
