MSSC Workshop, Saturday April 6, 2013 10:00 a.m.: Field Trip to RDY Sales

Field trip to visit RDY, one of Southern California's best Scientific Instrument dealers with decades of experience in specialized imaging apparatus.  Both old (antique) and modern microscopes will be available for our members consideration. They are by association a long time friend to our Society, the founder, Ricky Chaban was a regular speaker for our lectureship meetings when they were held at the Page Museum. He was also responsible for a good number of our members acquiring good microscopes. RDY now specializes in "pre-owned" scientific apparatus including our friend the microscope. They have a truly vast selection of fascinating pre-owned equipment from optical to fabrication equipment. They also provide custom fabricated equipment to meet almost any need in the lab or research environment. The building offers over 40,000 square feet of rare and interesting inventory. Just about anything you might need for your lab, RDY has it or can quickly find it for you. Our contact for our visit will be Dale Flores, who tells me that they will also have available for our inspection, the older brass and glass microscopes collected over the year by Ricky.
