    Default Razor Examination with Microscope

    I examine blade edges under a $12 Radio Shack microscope. I got the idea from another SRP member, so maybe this is a common practice. I don't know.

    Unfortunately, when using the microscope, shake when focusing is a problem. With the addition of play dough, I now have a more usable system. I position the blade to be slightly lower than the book, move the microscope until I see the blade edge, then by putting slight pressure on the book (with my arm, which is holding the scope to my eye) I move the scope into focus. Now, it is much easier focusing on a section of the blade, either the edge or even away from the edge, by only slightly altering pressure on the book. Moving to a different section of the blade is easy also.

    Pictures provided. Hopefully, this technique will be useful to others...
