Thread: New bench scope

OK, so I have access to a $$$$$ uber-scope back in the lab. But I have to sneak around to use it....

So I decided to get something I can have right here at my desk for mucking around with stuff.

It is a combo of a $79 100x "shop scope", and a $45 USB camera.

As with the Radio Shack scopes, the direction of the lighting has a major impact on what you see through the scope. On the $$$$ scope the light comes out through the objective lens itself, so it gives a much different kind of image. And the camera on that scope is also $$$$

Anyhow, here's the new setup and an image from the new scope (100x) and an image of the same razor from the $$$ scope at 50x and 200x.
