Relatively inexpensive, good enough optics for work and inspection [*],
LED illumination with 3xAA rechargeables in the base, includes case.

Tools over at http://www.howardelectronics.com/ and
http://www.hmcelectronics.com/index.html, and
http://www.circuitspecialists.com/ among others.

[*] although work is really mostly done with an OptiVISOR headset.

We've got Mantis microscopes

stations, both of which I quite like.

Expensive. Of course, John L. certainly has a lot to say
about how well they work and I completely believe him about
it. They are out of the ballpark for some of us hobbyists.
