That kind of thing is intended for viewing aerial photos.  Works fine for that,
but a bit pricey for what you get...  You can get about the same thing for 
1/10th the price from:

        Forestry Suppliers, Inc.
        P.O. Box 8397
        Jackson, MS.  39284-8397

        (800) 647-5368
        (601) 354-3565
    FAX (601) 355-5126
    FAX (800) 543-4203

        Catalog 47, page 419: 2X magnification #51159  $5.40
                              
They also carry the more expensive models up to $2350.00.  Useful stuff if 
you're into professional photogrammetric mapping & stare through one for hours
at a time.  For most hobby/student applications, I'd suggest the $5.40 model.
