Re: Anyone know where to buy semi-silvered glass?



In the end I tracked down another Watson "Standard Metallurgical" microscope on eBay. It's in better condition, but still has a few issues. With spare parts from the first I should now be able to build a microscope in good working order.

For the benefit of anyone who comes across this thread in the future, the reflector in the Watson "Standard Metallurgical" is plain glass, not a semi-silvered mirror.

Many thanks,

Chris
