Display methods are as individual as collectors. Some display their scopes all in a single room in the house, while others scatter them throughout their home. Some have built special wall shelving on which to perch their scopes. After you begin collecting scopes, you come to realize that they can take up a significant amount of room. Efficiently displaying them yet keeping them accessible for viewing can be quite a challenge. One important note is that scopes should generally be kept away from direct sunlight. The light and heat can cause damage to exteriors, liquid cells and mirror alignment.
