    How Does an Adjustable Chair/Microscope Work?

    OK, the microscope adjustment is too complicated to build from scratch. I am probably going to atttach the adjustment mechanism to my box. Problem is that I don't know what to buy/will be available at a general store that would have such an adjustment mechanism. does anyone have any suggestiosn?
