Find yourself a cheapo microscope that someone has thrown away or even a decent kid's microscope and use it. You don't need fluorescence to determine drop delay.

Hence I am interested in purchasing a microscope and would appreciate some advice. I mainly use the scope to set-up the drop-delay on our MoFlo, using BC FlowCheck beads. It would be good to use it to occasionally check cells, viability etc also. The one I used to use is an Olympus BX51- probably a lot fancier than I need, with camera and imaging computer and software. A reasonably inexpensive/ basic one with a relatively small footprint would be handiest I'd say. Just if anyone might have any suggestions/advice/ recommendations, that would be great.. Many thanks as always Barry.
