I did a quick search on the glass spheres, and the only place I could find to buy them was Edmund Optics for $15.00 each. Does anyone have a decent source for the lenses?
- dm2 13y agoI'm not sure if these are the same but I found this: http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_info.php/cPath/46/products_id/374/osCsid/37cabc139b4f03b0e0a522178defae7e http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_info.php/cPath/46/product...

That last one says US $0.11 / piece. It's hard to tell how well these would work as lenses though.
