Thread: picked up a stereo microscope for looking at edges!

Well, after going to the texas meet, and seeing rons microscope and setup, I ordered an amscope stereo microscope. It seems to be a pretty good scope and while ive not spent near enough time with it, it seems to be working pretty well. I need to make a better ball mount for holding razors that is steadier, as I just cant hold things steady enough to get much more than 45x out of it.

anyways, here is a quick video on the scope, and taking a quick look at an ebay razor. the scope itself will go from 3x to 180x with the different lenses. and I got the adapter to put my d3200 Nikon into the 3rd port and it has 24 megapixel thingys so the pictures look pretty good to me. I hope to shoot more videos with it soon to help folks learn how to sharpen/hone.
