[Elecraft] magnifying Lamp

[Norman Eid]

Hi all,

I am one of those dentists.  I have my surgical lens from Orascoptic 
Research.  A google search should give you a few other venders.  These are 
great and most surgeons use them.  My endodontic brothers/sisters are 
currently using operating microscopes for extremely fine work.

Be prepared to pay in the $1000 range for the lens.

73's,
Norm
