Hi folks,

My Watson "Standard Metallurgical" microscope arrived today.
Unfortunately there's a problem with it: the semi-silvered mirror is
missing. It looks like the mirror would have been an oval piece of
glass about 1/32" thick. The frame and clips which would have held the
glass are present. I'm going to call the seller tomorrow to discuss
the problem, but before I do, does anyone know how readily semi-
silvered glass or plastic is available? Or are ready-cut oval mirrors
available? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Chris

Try Edmund Scientific (www.edmundoptics.com). Their a bit pricey but
their a real life saver.

Thanks!
