What do you think about these stereomicroscopes to observe dipters (very small to large ones)? Wink
The SZX10 seems to enable acopling a Canon DLSR camera...

Hi Jorge:
Both Olympus and Nikon high quality stereo scopes are superb.
Apochromatics objectives are better than achromatics.
Be sure to get a scope that lets you get LOW magnification, a maximum LOW of 6x but 4x may be better. For the high end I have never had the need to go beyond 50x, but you may want to go higher.
