He obviously used 2 teeny tiny pens and an itsy bitsy straight edge :<0) But if it's a digital microscope that hooks to a pc, I want one.

[QUOTE=MJC;1434347]On a separate note - though you are new to shaving you seem to be an expert at micro photography - could you tell us how you did this?
Very well done!
Thank you, while I am new to SR's i am not new to sharp edges, as a hobby i have been sharpening knives for many years. In an effort to ensure i was getting the finest edge possible I purchased a cheap magnifying lens to ensure i had no micro-groving or chipping on the knife edge which if not caused by use can be commonly caused by abrasives in the sharpening process. I found that the magnifying lens was not quite good enough for what i needed so I upgraded to a digital microscope. They are not all that expensive but give amazing results as you can see and as a bonus you can photograph the results.
[QUOTE=Scorpius010;1434497]Thanks, but we want details, model numbers, links, what OS you are working with...Quote:

[QUOTE=MJC;1434518]I just had a quick look on ebay 40-80 X ones are about $21. No idea on the quality though. I think my daughter would have a lot of fun with one of them.Quote:

This reminds me of years ago, when I was doing a construction project on the ramp at DFW airport.Quote:

What stuck with me was the line from the Maintenance Director:
"There is no such thing...as a minor ding...on an airplane..."
The same can be said for the edge of a Straight Razor...
I found a few of them.
Hot Selling 8LED 1000x USB Digital Microscope Electronic Magnifier Holder Camera | eBay
Supereyes 500x USB Digital Electron Microscope Magnifier Camera Jewelry Clip 5MP | eBay
This one is wireless and can be used with your phone.
200x 2MP Zoom WiFi Wireless USB Digital Microscope for iOS Android Smart Phone | eBay
There are lots of them for not a lot of money and plenty of different applications.
Here is the one I bought:
Amazon.com: NEEWER® Portable 25X-600X 8LED 1.3M Pixel CMOS USB Digital Microscope with Base Stand: Industrial & Scientific
And there is the detail it will capture. It has 600x magnification, but I don't think it is anywhere near that. Cheap, works ok, but I would not recommend it. One plus though, the 8 LED lights are adjustable for intesity. Very helpful when examining a shiny piece of metal....
BTW, I bought it so I could take a picture of my own dinks. DPS. DinkaPhobiaSyndrome.
