Dear All,

This might have already been addressed at some point within the group, but I am curious if anyone has any experience with respect to some of the current low-cost Petrographic Microscopes on the market, particularly the brand Radical out of India. I’m not looking for a professional grade scope, but something that provides generally good quality. Thanks for your input!

Kind Regards,
