Related to that, is anyone aware of a good source of stereoscopes? I'd found
some sources of lightweight, inexpensive, handheld versions years ago from a
German company called VCH, and they were ideal for viewing side-by-side stereo
images, either printed or on the display screen. I can't seem to find this
companyany more, however, and I'd be interested in knowing of any sources for
these simple but useful devices. It's all done with mirrors, they say ... :)

Hi David,
I know it's been a while since your question to CCL, but I wanted to note that
recent daily builds of Chimera also support row-interleaved stereo:
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/
Our lab has a Miracube LCD display for this type of stereo, discussed here:
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/technotes/miracube.html
but we also have users with a Zalman monitor, mentioned in other responses to
your question.
The super-economy approach is to use red-cyan stereo (another Chimera option)
with just about any old display and those very cheap cardboard/plastic glasses,
but that only works well with colors that are not mostly red or mostly cyan, and
probably would be hard to tolerate if used constantly.
Best,
Elaine
