Yeah, I have a Macbook Pro & I have had one of these microscopes saved to my straight razor list. I had the magnet idea already & I have the magnets here which are about 1" in diameter & 1/8" thick & are super strong. I have to keep them away from everything or they stick to anything that gets near them. I used to mess around with guitars & I bought them here:

Just sitting here watching "Quigley Down Under" & thought I would put in my 2 cents. I almost got a microscope awhile back but it was only 2 mp so I didn't pull the trigger.Last edited by engine46; 06-02-2015 at 11:04 PM.

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

I'm thinking you (or I) could thread a bolt through the blade holding board to control its height with precision. Originally Posted by Wirm

That would certainly work ! Give it a shot on your version. Believe it or not I did consider the same thing. But given the variance in blades (smile , width ,etc) I find using a small wooden wedge between the base and hinged platform coupled with the adjustment of the focusing rail to be adequate for my use. ... Did not want to over engineer a turd. A mechanical Stage, such as on a good inspection microscope like Alex Gilmore uses would be a better choice..But Hey.. ? Originally Posted by Utopian
