You can see it and order it from Rocky Mountain Memories at,
http://www.frii.com/~rkymtmem/

There are two basic models (there are other more expensive 
models also). One is a over/under and the other a side-by-
side viewer. The over/under costs $27 and the side by side
$45.

The side by side is a bit more complicated to produce which
is reflected in the price. As to which one is better that
is a matter of preference. 

The side-by-side can view larger images but you have to view
them from farther away and there is a limit to the size that
you can view.

You can view closer with the over-under viewer and the width
can be any size. The only limitation is that the height max.
is 4 inches. I prefer this one, and is the more popular from
that two. For side-by-side you are better of with a Holmes
type stereoscope unless your going to view larger squarish
formats. With the over/under it's great with panoramics or
4x6 pics.
