Our lab is about to purchase several new microscopes for implantations and microinjections to mouse brain, and we've never really been thrilled with the scopes we've had at our disposal. I'd appreciate if anyone has recommendations of scopes they enjoy using.
I use a Ziess steroscope for all my microsurgeries and injections into ovarian oviducts. Its small and powerful and you can add filters such as GFP to take pics if tissues.
We do not use a microscope anymore - instead we equipped a USB-CCD with a "telescope lens" on a Manfrotto-arm (or the like) and display the surgical area on the screen. Great for screen shots.
Something like this: "imaging zoom lens mounted to a CCD camera on a stand, which was independent from the stereotaxic frame (Imaging Zoom Lens, 0.7X-4.5X, NT53-347, Steel post components NT03-609, NT58- 994, NT58-955, NT58-974, NT54-976, Edmund Optics, FireWire CCD Color Camera DFK 41BF02.H, The Imaging Source)" (from the Thesis of Susanne Löffler)
