Thread: Fun with 200x Microscope & cell phone camera

Is it possible for you to focus on the edge?

Do you mean get a top down view of the edge's apex, or shift the focus a little closer to the edge for a cleaner view? If the former, it would likely result in me posting in Cut of the Day. If the latter...maybe. It's really difficult to hold the razor still while manipulating a pocket microscope that clips to a cell phone. At present this is about the limit of what my skill will allow, but I may* be able to fabricate some sort of rig that would hold the phone/microscope in place...might be a fun weekend project.

I could (should) also scale it back to 150x. That would probably lead to a clearer result...

Shift the focus to the edge. The primary issue is that your scope seems to have magnification without a sufficient amount of resolution, but it would help to try to focus as best as you can on the edge.

I just spent about 20 minutes playing with the scope by itself. Seems like it's a little fuzzy no matter what I do with it. Probably meant more as a child's plaything that an actual working microscope.
