Micro Photography

With all the great talent running around loose on this forum I was wondering if anyone has ever taken pictures through a microscope of various edge conditions. I think it would be pretty interesting to actually see what the edge goes through as it progresses through all the stages from dull to perfectly sharpened. Or to compare a sharp edge to one that's just starting to pull a little for example.

Has anyone done this before or are there any takers?:idea:

Tim Zowada took some and they are in the Wiki here. Many other members have also taken photos of edges and of hones through a microscope.

Cool! Thanks for the reference Jimmy.

Here are some to look at, I know there are several other threads that have micro photography for other things as well.
