CCL: Monitors for CADD/molecular modelling

 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
