There is a company that has sent info out on the AAM product coupon service
that offers microscopes that are essentially big (relatively) screen
viewers. It's a perfect solution if it works properly and is affordable.
Unfortunately I don't have the file where I save these things, but maybe  a
look at the product section of the Museum Directory. I thought it was a
great product potentially.
