Thread: Pics with my new Veho VMS-004 Discovery Series 400x USB Microscope

I got my new USB digital microscope. I have fiddled a bit with it ad am not sure I am getting pics that are as good as I can.

I took a NOS Revisor I bought from the Revisor company. I have been shaving with the factory edge. Here is what that looked like when I started out:



Then I decided to use the Nakayama I bought from O_S. After 20 strokes it looked like this:


It didn't look quite as smooth as I could get so I did another 20 (total of 40).


I thought that looked pretty smooth, so I wanted to see how the Olivia hone (AKA Frankonian) compared. I figured if it was much coarser, more scratches would show up. 20 strokes later it looked like this:



I didn't see much difference, so I did another 20.



Finally, I decided to take it to 0.25 micron diamond on felt:



I don't know if you can appreciate it in the pics, but as I moved it around I thought it looked a little more uneven with the diamond than with either hone.

My experience has been that either hone feels a little smoother shaving, than the diamond.

These are the best pics I could get. If any other Veho users know any tricks about using the 'scope. Please give me some advice.
