The problem with a lot of USB scopes is that the have high magnification but not enough resolution. Contact member PCM, please, and ask him what his microscope is. I suggest that because he has posted a lot of very good edge photos with sufficient magnification and resolution and I have been curious to know what he is using but have been too lazy to ask.

I bought this one, a year ago. It works pretty good and is not too expensive. Limited levels of magnification, and I have a tough time getting enough brightness (and don't want to post process photos all day):
