It now has a proper glass texture, and some slides.

Looks like an old or cheap model... (mirror lighting, only one lens on the
nose...)
Or is it the travel version?
Good modelling.

Cool... someone is using my mega_metals.  After making some "real world"
renders with them (as opposed to the demo scenes I used to create them) I
find that they might need some more work.  But right now I'm working on
making mega_glass files.

PS.  It helps for metals (or any highly reflective surface) to have a scene
around it to reflect.

In our day and age it would be called an antique. And at that 
time, probably not cheep.

Ie, an "old" model, just like I said...Well, I can say there is an aesthetic
quality to antique tools.

I wouldn't go so far as to call them an antique. Edmund Scientific still
sells monocular microscopes and they are still used in the medical field
for slide viewing. All of the chemical and industrial manufacturing
inspection labs I have worked in had stereo microscopes. However several
of the circuit board shops I have worked in had monocular microscopes
for drill sharpening inspections and they were also used in the screen
printing area for the inspection of printing screens. They are not yet
obsolete !

I never said anything about monocularity, oh wise Ken. :-)
