I'd like some advise on a stereo microscope for use with mineral
micromounts.

Requirements are 10x to 30x power at least. 40X would be nice. I can
spend
in the neighborhood of $400, no more.

So far I've found some used AO scopes in that price range. The Lomo is
also
available in that price range. The Lomo does come with illuminaters and
more
than enough magnification options, and its new. I looked at Optical
Planet.
Any feedback on that company?

I think LOMO sort of stands for Leningrad Optical and Mechanical
Organisation? I've had one of their biological microscopes for many years.
Some design flaws, but quite well made, and their accessories were available
and fitted.

I also have a Bausch & Lomb x7 to x30 Stereozoom 4 which seems generally
excellent, except at the highest powers, say from 25-30x. Did AO merge with
/ take over Bausch & Lomb?
I've made different illuminators for mine, using both LEDs and halogen
lamps.
