It's close, well lit and more or less in good focus. I'd be happy with that as well. Thanks for sharing the photos. I will for sure get this or similar when I am advancing in my hobby. I am still learning to shave & strop

The capture software that came with this scope seems to me quite common. I have noticed this when watching youtube videos of different honers showing edges on screen, Alex Gilmour comes to mind, Although Alex uses a very professional looking optical microscope the actual image camera software looks to be the micro capture pro software that came with my unit.
Don't drink and shave!

yes, try v4l in mac ports, there is more options in the software you can set than in the common boxed software that comes with it

Mine is mounted on a macro focusing rail in my workshop, scrap wood , a hinge and a two rare earth magnets countersunk from the back side hold the blade securely.

Hey...I have a patent ! Originally Posted by Utopian
