I need to buy a microscope for clinical use - I am a veterinary oncologist and I look at cytology samples (tissue cells, fluid analysis and bacteria). I have read that Unico microscopes are good and i am trying to decide which model - boy, do I have options! I have looked at the P750 and H607 and around. I would prefer a trinoc because in the future I would like to be able to take pictures of the slides. Any suggestions, experience?

I would recommend a little better microscope for what you are describing. A good reconditioned Olympus BH-2, Nikon Labophot, and even a good AO 10 would serve you well. Of course, if you have the money, a newer scope of any of these lines (except AO) would be even better. What did you use in school ? If you are in the US you can contact me privately. I just happen to have a couple of the scopes I am recommending... what a coincidence.

I would recommend that you buy a used quality scope. In addition to the Nikon/Olympus possibilities already mentioned, you might want to think about Leitz, Leica, Wild. I was able to pick up a Leitz Ortholux research scope for a little over $300 on eBay.
