Not sure where you are based, but if it's in the UK, Maplins do a nice cheap, handheld microscope with an LED at the front. Cost me about £5.

Don't know why we are making all this fuss about cutting hairs, they are huge

like big telegraph poles they are

I can't wait to hone something up and take pictures of the different scratch paterns

I'm going to make a little stand out of blue-tac and a pencil to hold it still while a take pictures with my camera-phone.

Yes, I am a big kid.
I'm not going to show it to daughter No1, I'll never see it again.
