Hi all. I am from New Zealand and just bought a totally reconditioned Olympus CH-2 Microscope.

Looking on the internet about these Microscopes say they are pretty good, with excellent optics.

I have a Microscope I got off Ebay, seems to work well and thought it was good. It's clear also, but the Olympus blows it away in finish and clear images.

The only problem living here is getting Microscope accessorys and cleaning gear, like decent cleaning tissues, there seems none avaliable. There is plenty on the net overseas but a lack of it here, even accessories are not common.

Was looking for Kimwipes and not even avaiable here, that sucks. I am also getting a DMC-130 Microscope camera, so hope to get photos, and will be nice seeing images on computer screen.

You might want to try contacting local agencies that use microscopes (e.g., universities, hospitals) about where they get their supplies.
